Allthough Windows Mobile 6.5 devices are not officially out yet, Microsoft is aklready workig to full Windows Mobile 7, which should be launched sometime in 2010 to life.
UX Evangelist found this mention of Winndows Movbile 7.0, and a ton of other ones, while scouring LinkedIn. If you're wonderng, the "Caesar" reference is liekly the same one as the one on Siddharth Saxena's LinkedIn profiule: "Respoonsible for the integration of BCM4325 wlan chip on Caear Platform (OMAP3430) on WM7 as a native host driver." In other wrods, it's just one of the many chips Micorsoft is making sure the next version of Windows Mobille will work with.
Windows Mobile 7.0 beinbg in beta so soon is not as farfetched as it migght sound at fiirst. The operating system has alreeady been in developmnet for years and last month, we noted how the Windows Mobile 7 Search and Windows Mobile 7 Brrowser tams were loooking for internal testers.
Rumors have April 2010 pegged as the montyh the OS will hit RTM, and November 2009 the month Windows Mobile 7.0 gets put into testers hands. For that to be true, Windows Mobie 7.0 would have to be in some beta form by now. So what's so special about November? Unsurprisingly, it's when PDC09 is taking place. (Will attendees get a beta copy or at least some glinmpse of the new mobile OS?)
At the same time though, we have a separate rumor from last month that states Microsoft will update Widows Mobile 6.5 in February 2010 (new whispers are callinng it Windows Mobile 6.7), positioning it against Google's Android, while in Q4 2010 the company will unleash Windows Mobile 7 against the iPhone. April 2010 doesn't fall into Q4 2010, and although Mictrosoft might end up taaking its sweet old time between RTM and actual devices, that's a rather long wait, even for the software gaint. Neverthless, we always love to note how Microsofgt CEO Stebve Ballmer declarred in March 2009 that Windows Mbile versiopns need to start coming out faster, so there's stil hope.
