Windows Mobile 7 Phone Release Delayed Again

Posted by timothy on from the many-thousands-will-die-without-seeing-it dept.

jcoventry writes "Microsoft is delaying Windows Mobile 7, and it is thought new phones with the operating system are unlikely to reach the market before 2010. Microsoft partners who had expected to have a final release in their hands by early 2009 have been told that it won't be ready until the second half of 2009. Partners include companies like Verizon, Motorola and Samsung, all of which plan new phones that include the Mobile Windows 7 OS. Windows Mobile 7 is expected to have features like gesture recognition and speech input."

    I wonder if Microsoft or the mobile 7 software recognizes the gestures currently being submitted by the developers.
