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.

Zune was supposed to be in 6.5. They skimped on us.

This is not about the HW, not about the SW but it's about the Transformer

First, sorry for my poor English. I study in Graphic Design and I'm gonna graduate. This is a part in my last project: series of ads. Of coz when I post this thread it means I chose the TF to work on.
The ASUS logo and all the names are copyrighted by ASUS, but the "Eee Pad Transformer" Logo is designed by me so if you like and want to use my design please let me know (I just want to know if there's S.O interested in my design)

That looks cool.
I like the design work. I'm a big fan for clean and uncluttered.
I hope you get a good grade!

Looking Nice !!!

Amazing work! I'd employ you.

I like it.
Simple
Clean
Efficient
and dare I say sexy

Nice! Only suggestion is would it look better with all the letters in lowercase?
So glad Asus didn't put their current "Eee" logo on the transformer other than on the box. I think that logo is just awful.

Thanks for your suggestion It depends on tastes. I like the lowercase choice better but my teachers won't.
And this is the Logo on the light and dark background. I'd like to have a case with this logo on it ^^

I might be a little interested in putting these in some wallpapers for the TF. Got a few ideas in mind for that but need to go a digging and see what I can do.

@OP
IMO of your logo...
The EeePad font has a "leafy" motif, which has a "nature" or "green" connotation. The Transformer font has a mechanistic Tron-like feel, which in tandem with the meaning of the word evokes a mechanized object. To me, the two clash. There's no harmony or synergy.
With any logo, you'd want to have a theme that you want associated with the brand, then shape your imagery to evoke that theme. I'm not sure what theme you are trying to put across.
Edit: BTW, chào bạn, from a Việt expat who originally hailed from Sài Gòn.

The styling doesn't shine clear to me.
I see something that's mean to invoke me, but it doesn't actually pull anything out of me.
Mind walking me through the design and it's intent?
I like the lowercase choice better but my teachers won't.

You're ready for the big leagues!
(lol, little graphic artist humor)

I like, too. I like the color choice, and the overall appearance.

[OFFTOPIC] Mango unveiled on Samsung SGH-i937 (an SGS2 version)

Possibly in some thread somewhere, but I didn't find it so sorry if it's old news.

"... four new Windows Phone 7 handsets running Mango. Acer and ZTE both have models on tap, as does Fujitsu -- which slathered its mobile in pink and gave it a waterproof seal.
The biggest news though was Samsung. Microsoft pulled out what is believed to be the SGH-i937, a version of the Galaxy S II that sports the Redmond mobile OS instead of Android."

Guess Windows Phone and Samsung fans have a reason to be happy. Looking forward to see the specs of that Samsung, even though i'm not passionate about Windows Phones.

For hesitant people like you (and me), someone will cook up a dual boot ROM with Mango and Android 2.3.4

There was a time I only wanted to stay with windows phones, since I was used to the way windows mobile 6.1 worked on my artemis and diamond, and figured windows OS would be easiest to co-exist with my PC for file transfers, syncing and general compatibility.
So I almost bought the Omnia 7. I'm so glad I delayed my upgrade and took the plunge with android on the SGS2. Android is excellent and I have no desire now to use windows phones anymore. Not for the time being anyway, and the whole tiles thing with the new WP7 doesn't appeal to me.

I hated the old windows phones. Slow, lag, so many menus to search through. But I played a little with a windows 7 phone, and I liked it allot. It still has a bit more tweaking to do, but I wish my Evo 3d scrolled as smooth as windows 7. Fast and easy to use. Looks really well done. It is something I will keep my eye on in the future.

Would this open doors for having a WP7 mango running on our beloved SGSII? I am loving the whole metro ui, and simulated a lot with different apps now, but it is not the same. I prefer having two OSes on my mobile instead of having 2 phones. Willing to help DEVS taking on this project
Cheerios

I did try WP7 on my HD2 when it first became available, but wasn't impressed. It looked like it had promise but just wasn't delivering at the time. I'd like to see where it's gone now, nearly a year later, so I'd be very interested in trying this out. I'm just not going to hold my breath while waiting for this to ever become available on the S2.

Neither am I, chances are that the more expensive option will be the only one. I keep reading that there is a difference in BT profiles, but I am uncertain that this is a constraint or not?

Visual Exploration ... Suru is born

So Guys ans Girls,
Let start the Visual Thread about Ubuntu Touch OS
drop your thoughts, your fear and your wishes about the Touch OS visual Experience
To start, here is a pic for the Exploration, the pic come from the Touch OS designer

Visual
Very good visual, cant wait to see it running on my device. :good:

And this Visual Design has a name : Suru ! welcome Suru
but let have a deep look, the phone picture is not the Galaxy Nexus as it used to be.
A hint to the new Hardware ?

Hardware
Maybe the Ubuntu phone to be released in autumn.

looks really great, calendar is a bit weird but whatever
i dont know why but that device looks like a Huawei to me

the os looks great, hopefully it performs well and gets the attention it deserves. though, in this market, that really depends on how many developers embrace the os and get the apps developed so it at least has a chance to succeed. allowing ios and android to get so big really causes problems for any newcomers due to the fact that there are already thousands of apps for both platforms which are now relatively stable, bug-free and full of features, and no one nowadays wants a phone which doesn't have stable, fast apps for everything they want to do.
i think the ubuntu devs definitely got the design right, tho -- the design reminds me of something you'd see in android, but with a lot of the...ideas and practicality that lay behind windows phone, which imo is a better platform than either ios or android for a phone but unfortunately doesn't have the community and therefore the developers/apps to compete.
would definitely be great to see this platform take off so we have another big competitor in the mix!

Don't get your hopes up. The pictures above are nothing more than digital concepts, it's just an artist's impression of what a "new" ubuntu-related generic smartphone would look like.

Making and selling software is not easy, they've done some things they should not have done.
They've annoyed their userbase with all kinds of weirdness, problems...
They sell it like "your old apps will work" and so the new OS inherits BS code from ... somewhere.
It's because of greed. They need money. Not sure what for, since they didn't use them to make a better OS. Let's say they wasted all the money.
Moving to Linux and Hackintosh. Can sill use Win in a VM no matter which version, the lighter the better.
Theyve actually announced WIn12 which immitates Android more. Which I have spammed them to do since I don't rembeber when.
I am not an optimist for that corp, they will mess up many things as they always do. They don't have what it takes, they are weak.

Windows is a mess.
Anything that gives Gates more money is bad, very bad. Too bad it was Allen that perished and not him.
MS started the cloud crap, now Android is emulating that lame role model. Being the data mining pimps that they are...
