Microsoft is expected to officially launch Windows Mobile 6.5 on October 1st, 2009 while the Windows Mobile 7 is scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2010. This is the dual-platform strategy of Microsoft to compete both with iPhone and Android. According to sources at Taiwan handset makers, Windows Mobile 7 is aimed at iPhone while the Windows Mobile 6.5 at Android.
As we reported few weeks ago, the Windows Mobile 6.5 is intended for low cost devices while the Windows Mobile 7 is prepared for premium hardware experience. I’ve seen the final Windows Phone GUI demoed on Video and i was so impressed as many people too. And now we’re excited to see what Microsoft is going to deliver on the Windows Mobile 7 devices. Is the stategy will work? We don’t know and we’ll see.
