Is this Windows Mobile 7?

I found this news on wmpoweruser.com.

I really doubt that is Windows 7 (unrelated : isn't it weird how the desktop version and the mobile version now have the same name? )
And after reading the comments on the other thread I seriously doubt that wm7 will be released this year:
1) they're still working on wm6.5
2) releasing wm7 so close after wm6.5 would be ummm....counterproductive?
Until we find something on the internet really identifying it as WM7, I'm a skeptic.

microsoft has already said that wm7 wont be out till next year (prob march/april) its only developers that get it in november i think

Yes, actually that does look like WM7. A while ago a large number of concept screen shots came out. The credibility of those screen shot and the story behind it could be debated. But IMO sure evidence came in the form that in a MS live mesh commercial there was a brief shot of an HTC touch running the exact UI that was leaked. This looks like that interface with a few tweaks/improvements. I am trying to find that original story.
*edit* not the story I was talking about but all the shots were like this one:

*edit 2*
The first two pics are from the live mesh commercial. Note, WM7 is not really running on his device. They are screen shots. I was fooled at first. lol.

Here it is. The full story. Not the original site I saw it on but looks like the same pictures and text.
http://www.zakeh.com/2008/01/07/windows-mobile-7-details-leak-cool/
That UI was found on a WM device in a MS commercial. Evidence enough to me that at least at some point this is the direction MS was going. And I like it.

I think wm7 will change alot over the next year as they get feedback and see what every one else does.
This might be early code but still about 6 months till developers get it then another 5 months of changing as they get feedback from developer

My guess is no. Hell no.

It looks a bit crap, not to mention VGA (why would MS be developing a 2010 mobile OS in VGA?). I'm very sceptical.

Yes it was posted, a million times already... sigh. There are already multiple very boring and repeating threads about it that you could have found easily by looking at the first 2 forum pages...

As pointed out above this has been posted before, and even I could make a better fake than that! The fonts wrong and it says Foto's instead of Pictures

Only when it runs the 1 GHz hack, because phone 7 requires that.
But it is nice to know that windows 7 phone scales on a totaly different way on a HD2 WVGA screen. Look, this is how it scales on the concept device:
(this image is real-size: put your HD2 beside it to get an idea)
But yes, I like the HD2 version more

Fake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HTC Desire and Legend now up on Amazon UK

soon as MWC was over, Expansys already was making pre-orders available for HTC’s latest handsets that were featured during the event – the HTC Desire, HD Mini, and Legend. Following closely, Amazon UK is now offering the same trio of handsets with some larger than life price tags associated with them – fortunately though, it’s looking like some of them will make their way to UK consumers by April 1 at the earliest. The powerhouse HTC Desire can be fetched for £528 ($795) while the uni-bodied HTC Legend can be taken for £400 ($602) – both having an estimated arrival date for April 1. If you’re a Windows Mobile fan, the HTC HD Mini will cost the least amount out of the three at £369 ($556) with an availability date of April 14. Of course you can dish out some serious cash now to guarantee yourself one of these bad boys before anyone on your block can find one in stores – plus you won’t be required to sign those lengthy contracts; but still expect to wait some time before the actual handset arrives at your front door.
MODS PLEASE DELETE IF INAPPROPRIATE. I NEVER WANTED TO SPAM THIS USEFUL FORUM. SORRY IN A ADVANCE

Android 2.2 Froyo for magic??? Source Phandroid & Neowin

Quoting Phandroid: Link
"I was a bit skeptical when a user from 4chan claimed to be an “android trusted tester” and posted screenshots of a MyTouch 3G supposedly running Android 2.2 Froyo – afterall we know how easily those “About” screens are faked. But after some trolling (”No one cares, take this $#!* to XDA”) and small talk (”is it nice”, “hurr”) the OP follows up with a picture that has me (at least partially) believing. Well, not ONLY believing… also yearning for the arrival of 2.2..."
Quoting Neowin: Link
"As we now know, Google's next iteration of the Android operating system is rumored for release at Google I/O next month. To make matters even more interesting, Phandroid has posted some pictures showing a HTC Magic running Froyo. The images are not confirmed to be real, but assuming they are, Android 2.2 will add a new level of convenience to the Android Market.
One of the pictures shows a feature to "Allow automatic updating" within the Market. The example shown is with Google Maps. Assuming this picture is legit, Google is really taking their app store seriously and listening to the suggestions of its users. Whether this new feature will only work for specified applications (such as Google branded ones) remains to be seen. Such a feature has the potential to cause problems for users if the wrong apps are allowed to automatically update themselves. Developers could be able to force ads into their apps, as well as push malicious code."
And some SS (courtesy of Neowin and Phandroid):

This mean that we will be able to run Froyo on our devices??? Would this be fake or real???

who knows if its real, but i doubt we will get 2.2 before any of the big boy phones like nexus, milestone, x10 ect ect...
we'll be getting 2.1 (well 32A anyways) sometime this summer..
i wouldnt hold your breath for 2.2 ...

like i said in my other post, i've been running consumer and it has no time limit. if they had a limit, im sure they would of posted it. last time i saw a time limit was on old server beta's.

there has always been time limits
http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/910238eb-89dc-4d9b-87b0-e19f2aefe90a/
usually about a year
Win 8 will be no different
and what is the point in using the DP or CP still?
the whole point of the beta program is for MS to get feedback on is new OS so it can improve upon it, its not so you can have a free joy ride of its new OS, an OS that can dramatically change between the various releases.
Honestly, I really think MS should vet the people that download the betas, if they don't contribute then it explodes

I will stick with my Developers Preview.. I dont think the developers preview will expire..

The developer preview expires on the 15th of the January 2013 unfortunately. Better off going for the release preview as they both expire at the same time.

Developers Preview WILL expire, besides, your missing out on a bunch of new features and innovations that DP does not have!
