According to some interesting rumours today, Windows Mobile 7 may be making its debut this week at the Professional Developers Conference (2008) in Los Angeles, California. Though the main focus of the event is not on Windows Mobile specifically, a ZDNet journalist has this to say about the conference:
Attendees will get a demo of Windows 7 by Windows engineering chief Steven Sinofsky, as well as pre-beta M3 bits to take home. Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie is on tap to outline Microsoft’s Live Framework, the Live Mesh development platform. Windows Server head Bob Muglia is expected to unveil Microsoft’s cloud development platform and explain how Microsoft plans to try to one-up Amazon and Google in this space — via a combination of its Windows Cloud OS, virtualization and a variety of cloud-optimized services. There are sessions on Microsoft’s Oslo modeling strategy and platform, Silverlight 2 for mobile, parallel/concurrent computing and more.
Now, there are also rumours that this quote is actually referring to Windows 7, which is the next version of the PC based Windows operating system, and personally I think I agree. But with that, I will also say that I don’t doubt that there will be talk of the mobile version of the operating system.
I’ll keep an ear out. If I hear anything, you’ll be the first to know.
