Windows Mobile?

While Windows Mobile 6.0 is still only a teenager in terms of its not too recent lunch, it would be rather obvious to guess that Win Mob 7.0 is being worked on even according to rumors someone out there, with the fantastic contacts that they have in Microsoft, was actually able to get their hands on rather detailed information on what we can expect from the next version of Windows Mobile.
The information is so detailed with diagrams and screenshots that it boggles the mind considering that the expected release for the OX would be somewhere in 2009. But he guy who got a hold of this information has revealed that the next-gen windows mobile device is probably going to rock the iPhone’s world. This future Windows Mobile OS is apparently going to use similar motion gestures for navigating menus and other options quite like the iPhone. The word is that the devices incorporating this OS will even use the camera to detect gestures to make navigation easier and it would also be able to judge what position the phone would be in as well as where. For example if it were idle on the table or in your pocket or even handbag. It will incorporate gyroscopes and accelerometers for various purposes making the device easy to manipulate. They even state that the media playback and player will take on a new look and feel. It would sound somewhere in the league of the iPhone or some of the more recent Symbian mobiles. The new OS would also probably do completely away with a stylus and make the device. Fully funcationalble with just the fingers as far as to have just a singular button as well. Drawing, scrolling and even writing could also be totally finger controlled.
