A number of cool devices, gadgets and applications were announced & launched at the CES in Las Vegas last month. The next big event to watch out for is the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which takes place this month from February 15 to 18. One of the reasons why Mobile World Congress is gaining so much importance this year is due to the fact that Microsoft will be launching its new Windows Mobile 7 operating system at this event.

During the last few years, Microsoft has witnessed a steep fall in market share due to the launch of new and innovative mobile operating systems by Apple, Google & Palm. This is because Microsoft's primitive Windows Mobile operating system simply failed to compete with Google's Android OS, Apple's MAC OS and Palm's Web OS. It's been quite some time now since Microsoft announced the Windows Mobile 7 OS and WinMo fans have desperately been waiting for the new OS to launch. Good news for WinMo fans as Microsoft will be announcing and launching the Windows Mobile 7 OS this month at the MWC in Barcelona.

So what's so good about Windows Mobile 7 anyways? Well we are hearing that the new Windows Mobile 7 OS will be coming with a streamlined UI, support for capacitive and multi-touch display technologies and Zune compatibility. WinMo fans will also be glad to know the new minimum hardware requirements for Windows Mobile 7, which are as follows: 1 GHz processor, 800×480 pixels touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, and GPS.

Will Microsoft make a comeback with the launch of Windows Mobile 7? It better do so or else it might be the end of Window Mobile OS! Let's just stop assuming and wait for the launch later this month.
