Is this Windows mobile 7?

i was reading a tech blog and found this:
Link to the gallery
Link to the article
might be intrersting for the xda community
EDIT: 2nd link fixed

looks more like its showing off future smartphone and ppc phone technology. cant really tell

why couldn't it be wm7?
If they want to have an operating system that can compete with apple's then this looks promising to me.

Thanks for the link. Interesting read so far. I'm not done with the Blog.
I'm just wondering though. It says that the camera will be used to calcullate certain activities (which may include gestures such as shake, twist, etc.) instead of using gyroscopes and accelerometers.
While it is too early to tell, it seems that this approach (already attempted with current devices in field) would have a negative impact on battery drain since the camera would have to be "always on" in order to comprehend your movements.
Secondly, what if someone came up with a camera hack? Could you imagine having your camera phone hacked and just being on all the time, displaying your personal life to some freak? I don't know if that is possible or not, but, it would be kinda scarry for me.
The article contradicts itself in a few areas; such as saying scroll bars will be done away with, then later stating that the scroll bars can be dynamically resized. LOL.
Still, it's fun for me to read about forthcoming technology - vaporware or not.

Dude these are all just things Microsoft are thinking of. Im pretty sure many features will cut down from this as MS does it always.

In theory, yes. It will most likely not need different hardware than it needs today.

From the looks of it, WM7 will be a lot more powerful that WM6 and require a lot more processing power. I'm sure there are a few HTC devices which will be able to run it, but I don't think I waoul want to run it on my Touch since it can barely handle WM6.
I don't think there's been any official announcement about the date of release, but end of 2008 or beginning of 2009 sound like the right time frame for Microsoft to roll this out. http://htcsource.com

English forum.. so err.. yeah post in english so we can all read your post!

its not necessarily a marketing ploy to get more money, if anyone here has done any research or read about it they would know the x10 HD is the exact same phone as the x10 (hardware n all) it just has 2.1 (which supports hd video recording).
and obviously since the 2.1 update is supposed to come out next week they will be advertising it like crazy since its something people have been waiting for.

Exactly. I don't get what the big deal. It's just a rebranding, just like how the HTC Magic was renamed the Magic+ here in Canada by Rogers when it got its Sense UI.

pointless thread, close it please :\

If the point of marketing isn't to generate more money for your company, then what is it?
Sent from my rooted X10a using Tapatalk

Guys chill out! This should be considered great news for X10 owners, simply because if SE advertises the same X10 after the upgrade to 2.1 as a new phone. This means it will likely be upgraded to Froyo! Therefore, if it gets 2.2 you will also get 2.2 right ?
So actually this is good news, and it will be a pleasure if this device gets Froyo, because it rocks already! By the way if you don't mind me asking, where exactly did you capture this picture?

I also see it as a marketing strategy is simple you add something different to the existing product and ready .. thousands more sales.
but that comment you said you opened my eyes and you're right .. if Sonyericsson sell it as new phone is very possible that give new upgrade for the "new buyers"
Let's hope so! would be great news
sorry my bad english

Yes.. We can expect 2.2 at Q4 2024 from $€.
Good thought anyway.

Cool spreadsheet bro

Nicee, I say that we'll get a update by end of April. Just a gut a feeling

Nice spreadsheet you whipped up there.

Thank you for bringing this to us.
My only concern is that I do not see Epic 4G listed in that list. Yes, the Galaxy S is but as we all know, Samsung doesn't seem to consider the Epic a true Galaxy S phone (based on previous articles excepting the Epic numerous times when referring to Galaxy S). Until I see "Epic 4G", I'm assuming the only chance I'll get to see Gingerbread is through CM7.

I see Galaxy S on the back of my phone. If Samsung offers the update and Sprint declines, that is one thing. But to not develop a ROM at all? I'll be upset.

It also does not distinguish whether its CDMA or not

sorry guys, guess I should have been a little more clear.
I did not create this spreadsheet, "I stumbled upon this" through an article posted on the NBCbayarea blog (here is the link):
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Have-Android-Gingerbread-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html
and yes, you're right..this spreadhsheet does not specifically indicate "Samsung Epic 4G", we can only hope that they are generalizing all Galaxy S phones!
sorry for the confusion everyone...
if the link doesn't work just copy and paste:
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/pre...d-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html

The way it has worked in the past is that the non US version (base version GT-I9000) gets the update first. In fact that's the phone for the GB version that already leaked. It is plausible that that version could get the release later this month, but what ever the case expect at least 3 months after that before we see any official US versions.

Isn't the Nexus S 4g going to be closer hardware to the Epic than the GT-I9000? Won't that port be quicker?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Who cares.
Once we have CM7 we'll have GB.
I'd rather they spend their time fixing the modem and whatever issues remain (slower data speeds, GPS issues, etc).
GPS is a lot better than it was in DI18, but every once in a while I'll turn on GPS and fire up Google Maps and it won't get a lock. Then I have to back out of Google Maps and go back in. Annoying when you're in the car in the middle of traffic and you have to figure out why GPS isn't working.

Kudos to the dev team, but one half functioning version of GB is no more useful than the half functioning one that Samsung has yet to release.

And usually when Samsung says Galaxy S, what they mean is the GT-I9000 and not the others. You'll know they mean the rest of us when they start saying "Galaxy S devices."

Eh...their sources are random blogs across the web. Nothing definitely. Its a cool spreadsheet to look at and speculate from...but definitely not something we should bet on.

Samsung GalaxySII models for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint break cover

First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.
Merge if needed.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.

Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.

When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...

It seems to me that they brought it on themselves. Afterall, they threw the first punch when they started suing anyone who found an exploit in their software. Lesson to learn here? don't start fights with people bigger and in this case, smarter than you.

Understand something, they do not share customer data. Never have and NEVER will. If you truly do think they do then you don't understand hacktivism and how it actually works. They are not after the customers, they are after ANY big company that feels they are untouchable.
