I'm kinda surprised nobody's commenting here. Thanks for the discount. I've been waiting to get the Resco Explorer 2010 for some time.

Now THAT makes sense. MS could steal sales away from Apple yet keep their core customers happy.

Here's hoping.

According to me there will be a version of WM7 which is the next update to the current WM6.5.3 line and these devices will be having multitasking , backward compatibility, yada..yada..yada..

then we will have a version Puze ( Zune Phone .. ;) ) if you will .. this will be much like the iPhone. Microsoft will rule this with an iron fist. Complete lock down. no external app ( unless hacked of course ).. will be having a massive inbuilt storage, no sd card.. multitouch, zune and xbox live games, and the works...

I just don't understand why Microsoft would go backwards? Why would they do away with Flash and multitasking especially since its something that seperates WM and iPhone.

Just doesn't make sense to me why MS would take important features like this away unless they have a bloody good reason. They might be doing away with Flash to force WM users to use their own Silverlight?

Lets see a few days to go before we should find out. Keep the faith :)

If all this holds true (especially the multitasking, no backward compatibility, and no flash bits) I'm definitely jumping ship to Android at the end of the year. If I have to start all over from scratch with my apps, why would I bother with WM7? It'll take 1-2 years for decent apps to start rolling in, whereas Android already has a growing app base. That, I'll still be able to multitask properly. I need to be able to take notes, look up words in a dictionary, and read PDF docs at the same time.

Man these rumors suck. Sounds like WM7 = iPhone clone.

Edit: I just read through the comments and noticed these rumors might apply to some kinda Zune Phone. Let's hope that is true!

At this point its all conjecture, losing backward support is not necessarily a bad thing (think PS3). Certain technologies have to drop the old to make way for the new. I think WM6.6 will continue to support existing applications. I believe tools will be available to easily convert older apps to WM7 anyway.

Also, I don't see why Flash wont be supported, as long as we can install Skyfire or Opera (or purchase it am WM appstore) we should be just fine.

How often does it update location data? If it’s too slow, using it for anything beside finding a stationary object will be impossible. Still, this is quite interesting. Applications for a high-update-rate version would be huge and wide ranging.

but the app store was successful coz all apps developed will work on all iphones. while on WM there are square screens, vga, wvga, qvga, qwvga, hvga , etc etc and then we have no unified API for gsensor ( and other things ) so apps work on HTC wont wok on LG Samsung etc

Hey, with no multitasking, no backward support, WM 7 is surely looking useless. Hope, these are only rumors. Rather, they must be. No multitasking? What would we use then?

Re: [ RUMOR ] Windows Phone 7 Features

eddyg — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:21:35 -0000

I insist in believing the iphone's success is thanks to it's app store and thousands and thousands of apps/games not in having such limitations.

Re: [ RUMOR ] Windows Phone 7 Features

Gabriel — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:39:53 -0000

honestly, why are you surprised? Look at the success of the iPhone who use similar strategies.

Re: [ RUMOR ] Windows Phone 7 Features

eddyg — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:46:21 -0000

I hope these are just rumors: the no flash support, no OEM Interfaces being allowed to run, and no multitasking.
If they happen to be true then windows mobile 7 will be 1 step forward 3 giant step backwards.

I hope what your saying is true PPCInformer, one of the things that really drew me to WM was the ability to customize. I hope WM continues to embrace the developers on sites like PPCGeeks and XDA-dev, because those are the people that make our phones so much fun.

With respect, the only hilarious comment here mate is yours. Your choice of words, spelling, general grammar, punctuation and formatting leaves me wondering whether you are in fact who you claim to be.

A developer with inside information? I have a hard time believing that sorry.

Saijo clearly stated "they have not mentioned the source of their info and to me it looks like they have put together a collection of all the rumors in to one post"

Since little has been released to the public regarding WM7 we discuss the information available to us. If you do have inside information please share it with us. My humble guess is you know no more than the rest of us.

I welcome you to prove me wrong

krenisis — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 06:17:50 -0000

OK I dont believe what Iam reading here , as these comments are hilarious at best. Look everything in most articules you have been reading is false. The only thing true is compatibility issues might occur with some programs. Relax and wait till official news. As a developer myself with info inside, trust me windows mobile 7 will be a huge upgrade from windows mobile 6.5 , almost like a new OS. I cant give anymore info but lets just say 1) you will be happy with smoothness and lack of slowdown with added customization and 2) portible video games systems be prepared for new challenger. Thats all Iam aloowed to say peace

Also, I agree with PPCINFORMER there will be restrictions applied to Zune phone not Windows Mobile. There will no doubt be new restrictions imposed by Microsoft to curb illegally obtained software but I doubt customisation will fall away.

Besides even if Microsoft do remove customisation, how long do you think the WM community will take to provide a way? 24 hours tops :)

Makes me laugh how everyone claims anything not iPhone is an iClone :) Shows how powerful Apple's advertising is. Motorola invented the first Mobile phone in 1973, Apple produced its first iPhone in 2007 some 34 years later.

Symbian has been around since late 1980s (19 years before iPhone))
WM roots go back to 1996 (11 years before iPhone)

Furthermore Apple have been sued a number of times for "poaching" technology for other manufacturers. Apple have revolutionised the Mobile world as we know it but they certainly did not invent it. If anything they cloned existing mobile technology making them the copy cats.
