I wonder how many will wait till holiday 2010 to see if Win Mobile 7 is more than vaporware?

Apple's new phone will be released months before WinMobile 7

Everything else is super stripped down

This seems like a good idea to me.

Microsoft seems to have done something fairly innovative

I agree. I see Microsoft as a big room full of mediocre coders.

On an interface as small as a phone, interface is everything. The winner in this battle is not going to be about code. It's going to be won by the "artsy" guys. The interface people. The people who see the whole integrated picture, cloud, entertainment.

I watched the video of the supposed Windows Phone 7, and noticed it's impossible to find your way around such an interface.

The interface looked pretty, and the music in the video was very "uplifting".

But when you sit for 23 seconds and think about what you just saw in the video, you realize what you saw was entirely conceptual - that is there was absolutely nothing real there. The entire video was modeled and edited in mockup software so the Microsoft OS engineers had something to design to.

They ain't no Windows Phone 7. That was pretend.
