Microsoft Hints at Things to Come
Very interesting article on the coming hardware and software developments.
  • In an interview with CNET , Microsoft’s Andy Lees, head of Windows Mobile, confessed to designing Windows Mobile for 200 Mhz processors and QVGA screens.
“We aimed to go for a lower common denominator,” Lees said.
He promised this was set to change however. In a comment that could only be hinting at support for new processors like Nvidia’s Tegra, he said “The power of the kinds of phones that come out next year will be incredible, well beyond even today’s devices. Phones next year will have dual-core processors, super-fast data connections, and graphics power rivaling that of the original Xbox.

Here is the complete article: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=2611

Re: Microsoft Hints at Things to Come
Things are actually looking up for possibly next year. I don't know about everyone else, but i was kind of dissapointed by the supposed lineup from HTC.

Re: Microsoft Hints at Things to Come
Getting the OS to run on 200Mhz procs would certainly improve battery life.

Re: Microsoft Hints at Things to Come
So I guess it's Palm Pre for me until next year. I'm not waiting yet another year for a modern WM phone.

Glad to see they are acknowledging it though. They have a lot of potential and I'd love for all the big players to up their game. We all win in the end.
