I think the small number of people posting in these WME threads compared to say Crackberry or Android Central shows that WinMo really has a lot of public interest ground to catch up.
When I hear 7, I'm concerned that I might lose the power, since it is an entirely new kernel. Sure, eventually we will get back to the level of control WM has right now, but at release, it will (probably) be unfamiliar enough to delay that control for a few months...By that time, Android and webOS will be understood enough to provide that same control.
It is the true strength of WM, and if MS can pull off UI rehaul whilst keeping power, I'm definitely going to stick around...
I just want to say that I am anti-Apple in every way, so as to not insult you, I'll just say that Windows Mobile 7 is Microsoft's solve-everything solution; it's even built from scratch.
So yeah, Windows Mobile 7 will have many, many improved features.
To see alot of them, look at all posts tagged windowsmobile7, WM7, WindowsMobile7, Seven, and things like that on this site.
The hubbub over iPad was ridiculous
- no Flash
- no multitasking
- no camera
- no MicroSD slot
- ATT - and a funky SIM that is better than a network lock at keeping control
