Microsoft has finally launched its long awaited Windows Mobile 7 Series operating system, promising a unified interface no matter which telco you buy your phone from, a totally fresh new user interface with graphical pizzazz and wow, Zune and Xbox Live integration and more – but we still don’t know if there’s “true” multitasking.
Today, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Microsoft publicly previewed Windows Phone 7 for the first time,but if you wanted to buy a Windows 7 phone now, or even in “60 days”, you’re out of luck and will have to persevere for some months longer.You won’t be able to buy the brand new totally fresh operating system or any new 7 Series models until the holidays ~ around 9 months away, and likely 4 to 5 months after the expected birth of the iPhone 4.0 hardware and OS.
