Ok, let’s put things into perspective. Microsoft wants to keep Windows Mobile 7 a secret right now because the competition between the 3 major players (Android, iPhone, and Blackberry) is as high as it has ever been in history.
So Microsoft turns to LinkedIn to find it’s mobile developer fixer-upper’s employees. Through these job listings, Microsoft is actually revealing a lot about Windows Mobile 7. For one, Silverlight seems to me a main focal point for the new mobile operating system. Secondly, WM7 is focusing a lot on PC-to-mobile hardware compatibility (i.e. USB support). Third, Internet Explorer for mobile is going to have huge improvements. What is a mobile internet phone without a decent browsing experience?
Anyways, more gold nuggets regarding the release of Windows Mobile 7 are expect soon. Or, if you are the kind of person who MUST have a date in their mind, Windows Mobile 7 will most likely be revealed in March of 2010.
