The Inside Microsoft blog has scored an exclusive first look at Windows Mobile 7, and boy is it hot.

The OS features a multi-touch interface similar to the Microsoft Surface table, and additionally features gesture based actions allowing a user to shake or rotate the phone to perform on-screen operations.

what a blatant rip-off of the iPhone - M$ doomed to be ‘me-too’ for a long time to come. They are saying they will have it ready in 2009 - I think they missed a digit there somewhere - more like 20009 and it will still have a ‘free’ extra feature of the BSOD smile

I still recall that twat Balmer laughing @ the iPhone about a year and this is the best they can do?

Another Apple rip-off, that will prolly be pushed down the throats of customers with banners such as ‘AT&T;recommmends MS’

Oh w8, that’s how MS does it in the PC business.

Shame on you MS, but imitating, but never innovating. You’re software days are over, though.
