Windows Mobile 7 to Be Discussed at Academic Tech-Days 10

The Mobile World Congress is only a few days ahead, and there are high hopes for this year's show when it comes to the mobile operating system that will be unveiled there, including the bada OS from Samsung, and the next-generation Windows Mobile 7 platform from Microsoft. Even if the Redmond-based company is mum on the matter, the latest reports around the Internet suggest that the platform will be unveiled there, and that it will be detailed at future events the company has in place for the following months, including the MIX10 conference in March, or the Academic tech-days 10 in April.

“Academic tech·days 10 is a Microsoft tech·days track organized specifically for technically focused students and faculty members,” the company notes on this event. There are various presentations already scheduled for the event, among which WMPoweruser spotted the “Mobility V-Next (professional tech·days session)” session, which is focused on the presentation of the next version of Windows Mobile, codenamed Windows Phone 7.

The description of the session is in French, yet a rough translation of what it reads would sound as follows: “you will see the next generation Windows Mobile platform, the code-named 'Windows 7 Phone'. After an overview of the platform and the roadmap, the development tools for creating your own applications the new generation of smartphones will be announced. The content depends on information available at the overview.” You can read about it on Microsoft's website here.

The greatest news is that all student card holders can attend the session for free, though they need to register for it. However, the one thing that is certain is that Microsoft is set to deliver the Windows Mobile 7 operating system to the market as soon as possible, and that it is also working on setting various events so as to make it known to a wider range of people. As it is expected not to feature compatibility with previous flavors of the platform, it makes sense that Microsoft is working in this direction, one should agree.
