Windows Mobile 7 Debuts At PDC 2008

Oct 27 Windows Mobile 7 Debuts At PDC 2008
Published by icjackson in:Windows Mobile, News, Microsoft,

The Professional Developers Conference (PDC) begins today in Los Angeles, which means the long awaited debut of Windows Mobile 7 is at hand. Although A-list blogger Bob Cringely made waves by asserting that "Windows Mobile will die", Microsoft is sure to turn the tide tomorrow at the unveiling. Tech journalist Mary-Jo Foley at ZDNet gives readers a sneak peek into what will be presented and distributed at the conference:

"Attendees will get a demo of Windows 7 by Windows engineering chief Steven Sinofsky, as well as pre-beta M3 bits to take home. Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie is on tap to outline Microsoft’s Live Framework, the Live Mesh development platform. Windows Server head Bob Muglia is expected to unveil Microsoft’s cloud development platform and explain how Microsoft plans to try to one-up Amazon and Google in this space — via a combination of its Windows Cloud OS, virtualization and a variety of cloud-optimized services. There are sessions on Microsoft’s Oslo modeling strategy and platform, Silverlight 2 for mobile, parallel/concurrent computing and more."

Cloud computing is the wave of the future; I4U News explains that Google is already employing it and Apple is close behind. However, Microsoft has always managed to compete and thrive in spite of the competition. If this week's debut is successful, it appears that they will continue to dominate in the mobile market.

As much as I am enjoying Windows Mobile 6.1, I can't wait to see what this latest version has to offer. Lots of people believe the number 7 is lucky; this week we may get to see if that's really true.
