Is this Windows mobile 7?

i was reading a tech blog and found this:
Link to the gallery
Link to the article
might be intrersting for the xda community
EDIT: 2nd link fixed

looks more like its showing off future smartphone and ppc phone technology. cant really tell

why couldn't it be wm7?
If they want to have an operating system that can compete with apple's then this looks promising to me.

Thanks for the link. Interesting read so far. I'm not done with the Blog.
I'm just wondering though. It says that the camera will be used to calcullate certain activities (which may include gestures such as shake, twist, etc.) instead of using gyroscopes and accelerometers.
While it is too early to tell, it seems that this approach (already attempted with current devices in field) would have a negative impact on battery drain since the camera would have to be "always on" in order to comprehend your movements.
Secondly, what if someone came up with a camera hack? Could you imagine having your camera phone hacked and just being on all the time, displaying your personal life to some freak? I don't know if that is possible or not, but, it would be kinda scarry for me.
The article contradicts itself in a few areas; such as saying scroll bars will be done away with, then later stating that the scroll bars can be dynamically resized. LOL.
Still, it's fun for me to read about forthcoming technology - vaporware or not.

Dude these are all just things Microsoft are thinking of. Im pretty sure many features will cut down from this as MS does it always.

In theory, yes. It will most likely not need different hardware than it needs today.

From the looks of it, WM7 will be a lot more powerful that WM6 and require a lot more processing power. I'm sure there are a few HTC devices which will be able to run it, but I don't think I waoul want to run it on my Touch since it can barely handle WM6.
I don't think there's been any official announcement about the date of release, but end of 2008 or beginning of 2009 sound like the right time frame for Microsoft to roll this out. http://htcsource.com

It's definitely an iPhone killer.

I would've got this but.... no microSD slot. At least it's not explicitly mentioned on any product sheets I've seen htc.com, devicewire, expansys... They all just 4GB internal

Hmm. Hope little 900mA/h battery be enough for all these nice features.

If htc's claim is true, its stand-by time doesn't look bad. At least it's not worse than Elf's.

Chip Swap
I noticed that his has the newer msm7201a chip in it. It is supposedly pin compatible with a tilt's msm7200. Can this be swapped into a tilt and utilize its enhanced speed (528 vs 400 mhz)?
Andrew

They layout and shape of the phone are strikingly like the LG KU990, at least, that's what I think

That could very well be the sim card slot. However... I can't image HTC releasing a phone to compete in todays market without having a micro sd slot.. It COULD have a hidden slot like it does on the touch.

All we have to say is this, Sony Ericsson: If you don’t drop a version with US 3G along side this Euro version, you’re officially dead to us. Officially.

Ahh , I see your point.

AGPS == normal gps plus the option of getting help from gsm antennas not something which use gprs at all of cause not all operators support it
but our current x1 is also agps but I never use it I just stick with normal gps
most people seem to confuse agps with that using 3 gsm antennas thing which it's not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
so bottom line is that it's the same gps as x1

Thanks Smiler, good to know that they delivered, as I'd be wary of buying something of such high value on eBay. I hope you didn't get hit with a big customs charge.

Ebay is not safe for such kind of products.
Here you go....and even way cheaper than what of you guys bought: http://www.revo-digital.com/mobile-phones-16.html?sid=be16b2ad68107b328e88c954d2bd4e80

It does amuse that companies have all this text space to excite their customer with whats new in apps/firmwares and they keep it overly simple.
On the other hand, pretty good chance it will be true!
