Microsoft is planning to launch new mobile OS, 7 (branded as Seven) to challenge the Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone OS.
Windows series 7 OS is to be shipped in two flavors: one for OEM and business customers, and a media-oriented version for consumers called the Media Edition. Both versions will support manufacturers overlaying their own interfaces, a la Windows Mobile 6.5. WMExperts claims that while we’ll probably see Seven at MWC, it won’t be a full product yet, since the launch is late 2010: we should just see HD video playback, a Zune-like media interface, and some of the UI, but not all.
WMExperts also has a first look at some of the hardware we should expect to run Seven: the LG apollo and HTC Obsession. According to WMExperts, these will profoundly outclass any other smartphone out there, since both have 1GHz+ Snapdragon processors, 3.7-inch AMOLED screens, and 512MB to 1GB of RAM.
But, both Android and iPhone OS will have plenty of time till then to challenge Seven.
