Mobile World Congress se va desfasura anul acesta la Barcelona, ramanand cateva zile pana pe 15 Februarie, cand a fost anuntat. Cu ocazia acestui congres se va vorbi despre Windows Mobile 7. Practic se va creea imaginea acestui nou windows pentru mobil. Deja s-au scurs cateva zvonuri cum ca acesta va avea imbunatatiri importante in ceea ce priveste interoperabilitatea, precum si unele asemanari cu alte sisteme de operare pentru mobil. Sa aruncam o privire asupra caracteristicilor acestuia:
- The UI will be quite similar that we’ve seen in Zune HD, with a few changes to be confirmed.
- Full Zune and XBOX integration.
- Full support with Facebook and other social networking mobile apps.
- Windows Mobile Device Center: No more. All of the sync options will be replaced by Zune software.
- No multi-task support. Here comes the first similarity with iPhone OS; the applications will be paused while working in background.
- No Flash support.
- Applications will not be available to install by a separate storage. The only possibility to install applications will be using the “MarketPlace”. No, no “AppStore”, the name is “MarketPlace”.
- MarketPlace will have a very cool option: “Try before you buy”.
- There will be no support for OEM Interfaces. That means Sense UI, SPB Mobile Shell, Point UI, Infinity, and many others will not be allowed.
Data de lansare: Septembrie 2010.
