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.

3.0 HoneyComb for phones at any point?

So I was just doing some research and it seems that 3.0 HoneyComb is just going to be for tablets. So my question is since it will be released for the tablets is there anyway to take the os to make a phone version or is this not possible. I know all this is premature as most phones don't even have gingerbread yet but the tabs like the g-slate from lg and the dell coming in Q2 its not that far away. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this topic?

I would imagine a lack of resolution would be the problem or pointlessness in using honeycomb.

If you look at my thread from a week or so ago with the honeycomb and motoxoom preview, a few members mentioned something like that, that some features would make it to a phone version of honeycomb,.... I did some googleing, but couldn't find anything. Fingers crossed though, we live in hope.

Watch the interview with Matias Duarte on Engadget. He says Honeycome is absolutely the future of all Android devices, and it will intelligently scale itself to provide the best experience per form factor.

The idea that it is only for tablets is from a very unclear line in a video that was made to emphasize the benefits of android 3 for tablets (vs anything else that anybody is running on tablets).
I.e., it means that they have added special provisions to make it good on tablets. NOT that they have taken phones out of the picture.

Nexus devices are usually a good bet. Sometimes someone winds up asleep at the wheel and we fail to update them, but there is rarely much work needed so they get supported fairly well anyway.
Honestly that's it for now - Sony has a lot of potential, but until we get camera HALs compatible with Sony AOSP (there is work being done at Sony on this, but it's taking a while - lawyers and all that) they're a no-go for most people. Also, Sony devices are inconsistently supported by Omni simply because Sony releases TOO MANY DAMN DEVICES (their 6-month flagship cycle is stupid/idiotic) and many of their phones are simply unavailable in the countries our maintainers reside in.
Oppo used to be strongly recommended, but they've been doing an extremely poor job of community support since the November Github Fiasco (when they took down kernel source for all their devices, and when it finally came back up, some devices were missing and it now takes 2-3 months of pestering them for them to drop source for new devices.)
I'm personally working on Sonys right now, but I've been really spending a lot less time on Android lately than in the past. We've had quite a few members of the team semi-burnout unfortunately.

That's a bummer. I'm still looking for the Holy Grail of a dual-SIM phone that supports Band 12 (T-Mo 700A). They were getting close...

Have we done it before? I joined this month so I have no clue that it has been tried already

That is not going to happen, it's not that easy and remember, it's not Motorola anymore, it's lenovo.
If they decide to do it, that would be a mess at the time to get the update. I am pretty sure we needed to make a full wipe. It wouldn't be just an update, it would be installing a new system from scratch and that's not something a lot of people would like to do, including myself.
I haven't had any problem with the device running a 32bit system and I am pretty sure I won't.
I would like to get Google Cam just for HDR+ but it's not a big deal and I can live without it.
We have an amazing dev team for the device so there is nothing we are missing for having a 32bit system.

Yes... There have been several threads here since this device first released whining about it being 32-bit, wanting to pressure Lenovo about making a 64-bit version, comparing the difference between the 32/64 bit world's, etc.
Simple answer, it's 32-bit... It's going to stay to that way, live with it.

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...
