August 4, 2009 at 10:09 Windows Mobile 6.5 - to the masses. Windows Mobile 7 - for Geeks
- Transfer
In continuation of the news lFaTaL1Ty - " Meet Windows Phone ".
This will be a free translation of the news published here .
In the video, demonstrating the final assembly of Windows Mobile 6.5 on Diamond 2, we discuss, in addition to the new WM 6.5 ruffles, the strategy for the further development of Windows Mobile (or already Windows Phone).
For example, the video says:
1. “There will be no multi-touch on WM 6.5, since 155 different WM devices are already on the market, each of which is a ready-made solution”
This reveals the position of Microsoft in relation to WM 6.5 - a patch or update, which is necessary in order to reach the release of WM7, which will already require completely new devices in which it will be possible to implement multi-touch.
2. "... in the development process, we worked closely with OEM partners to develop hardware specifications, etc. So the installed software will make full use of the device’s hardware capabilities, there will be a multi-touch and a huge number of innovations obtained from multitasking Windows ... Any of the innovations that are present in some of our competitors' devices will be taken to a whole new level in Windows Mobile 7.
And this already hints at the appetites of Windows Mobile 7 in terms of the hardware capabilities of the device. And it also says that all the innovations that appeared on Android and iPhone smoothly migrate to Windows Mobile 7.
3. Windows Mobile 6.5 will exist in parallel with WM7 when it comes out. WM6.5 will be aimed at a wide range of inexpensive devices, while WM7 will require devices with top-end filling to reveal the full breadth of its capabilities. As soon as Moore’s law affects the hardware and it becomes cheaper, with the advent of the next versions of WM - 8, 9 and 10, WM7 will be distributed on a wide range of devices, and you will receive other innovations with new versions.
Here, I think, you don’t need to explain anything :) WM7 will be for hi-end new products on the market, and WM 6.5 will be for other, not so powerful devices. In the process of reducing the cost of iron and the emergence of new hardware capabilities, WM7 will replace 6.5 in the market, and new versions of the OS will come in its place.
