As reports suggest Windows Mobile 7 is going to be revealed at Mobile World Congress event that is going to take place on 15th February, although at this time plans are only to unveil the user interface of the new platform . Specific indepth functionality of the device will most likely not be shown.
Although a lot of the information and images have already been leaked but still we have got some details about what Windows Mobile 7 is going to offer to us. This piece of information is not official yet so keeping that in mind read this here
- The User Interface is based on codename “METRO”. It will be very similar to the Zune HD User Interface with a complete revamp of the “Start” screen. The UI is “Very Clean”, “Soulful” and “Alive”
- There will be no Flash support at the get go as there was not enough time to implement these features (WTF).
- Windows Mobile 7 will only support application installation through Marketplace. Application installation via storage card will not be possible.
- No Multi-Task support (as expected). Applications will “Pause” when in the background, however will support notifications via push notifications.
- Marketplace will now support “try before you buy” as well as an API
- No NETCF backwards compatibility. This means the original rumor of no backward compatibility for applications holds to be true. That being said, there are high hopes of porting the NetCF to the newer platform easily.
- Full Zune Integration
- Windows Mobile Device Center will no longer be used. Zune software to take over syncing via PC.
- OEM Interfaces will not be allowed to run on the device. Say goodbye to Sense UI / SPB Mobile Shell / Point UI / Infinity, etc, etc
- Full XBOX Gaming Integration (includes Gamer tag, achievements, friends, avatars, merchandising, etc)
- Full support for social networking
