Windows Mobile 6.5 - to the masses. Windows Mobile 7 - for geeks
In continuation of the news lFaTaL1Ty - " Meet Windows Phone ".
It will be a free translation of the news published here .
In the video showing the final build of Windows Mobile 6.5 on Diamond 2, besides the new WM 6.5 ruffles, the strategy for the further development of Windows Mobile (or Windows Phone already) is discussed.
For example, the video says:
1. "There will be no multi-touch on WM 6.5, since 155 different WM-devices are already present on the market, each of which is a ready-made solution"
This reveals the position of Microsoft in relation to WM 6.5 - a patch or an update, which is necessary in order to reach the release of WM7, where completely new devices will be needed in which it will be possible to implement multi-touch.
2. "... in the development process, we worked closely with OEM partners in the development of hardware specifications, etc. So the installed software will make full use of the hardware capabilities of the device, a multi-touch and a huge amount of innovations derived from the use of multitasking will appear Windows ... Any of the innovations that are present in some devices of our competitors will be brought to a whole new level in Windows Mobile 7.
And this already hints at us on the appetites of Windows Mobile 7 in terms of the hardware capabilities of the device. And it also says that all the innovations that appeared in Android and iPhone smoothly, will move to Windows Mobile 7.
3. Windows Mobile 6.5 will exist in parallel with WM7 when it comes out. WM6.5 will focus on a wide range of low-cost devices, while WM7 will require devices with top-notch stuff to unlock the full breadth of its capabilities. As soon as Moore's law will affect iron and it will become cheaper, with the advent of the next versions of WM - 8, 9 and 10, WM7 will be distributed on a wide range of devices, and you will get other innovations with new versions.
Here, I think, and nothing needs to be explained :) WM7 will be for hi-end new products of the market, and WM 6.5 - for the rest, not so powerful devices. In the process of reducing the cost of iron and the emergence of new hardware capabilities WM7 will replace 6.5 in the market, and new OS versions will take its place.
