iPhone on sale. Microsoft is preparing a response

Apple has already said enough about the product. With the purchase or not buying it, surely each of us has already decided.
Most of us are all the more interesting, what will happen next?
Will there be an iPhone v2, what are its characteristics, and what will be the general response to this elegant device from Microsoft, the head who said that in the business segment of the iPhone they are not a hindrance.

As we know / understand, an important attractive part of the gadget is its GUI. And I, as a person who loves programming on Microsoft platforms, came across an interesting blog post from the new PM (project / product manager) Windows Mobile shell team . Here is what he writes:

In general, I became a PM in the team manager of the Windows Mobile shell. Besides, this command is responsible for the look and feel that the user works with. My main task is to ensure that all internal applications (Calendar, Contacts, Dialer, Desktop (Homescreen), etc.) just shine in the next version of Windows Mobile. This means: serial GUI, use of the main GUI controls ( ?! Naah ?! ), accessibility of using them ( ? Skins chtoli? ) And all extensions ( ? Plugins? ). Now I can not tell you anything in detail about WM “7”, except that the new GUI “will demolish your tower.” The transition to this team is very exciting for me, and I am very proud that I will work with the Outlook Mobile kernel, which makes the Windows Mobile devices very powerful.

Going forward, I'm a PM on the Windows Mobile shell team. This team owns the user-facing “look and feel”, among other things. Our mobile apps (calendar, contacts, phone, home screen etc.) shine in the next version of windows mobile. This includes UI consistency, common control usage, theming and extensibility. I can’t reveal any specifics about WM “7” at this time, except that I’m not happy. This is a very exciting transition for apps such as Outlook Mobile, which make our devices so powerful.

These are the news friends. We can only wait.
Time will tell us whether MS will be able to decide on a radical restructuring of the GUI, as was the case with the new MS Office or Longhorh concepts, and thus give the world something new, or it will be just another reitaling of icons in the OS.

The giant has “trumps”: time, understanding of the main “enemy”, technology (Multipoint SDK, which was announced earlier! (Dec 19, 2006) than Apple’s moultitouch, you can “sew” MS Surface), after all the market.
