Gone are the heady (or is that headless (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/it-was-vegas-baby-engadget-departs-ces-2010/)?) days of CES 2010 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/ces-2010-all-the-stuff-and-more/), and we're nearly past the rumor euphoria of the decade (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/the-apple-tablet-a-complete-history-supposedly/), so what do we have to look forward to? According to CNET's sources, WinMo 7. This year. Sure, we heard as much from DigiTimes (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/windows-mobile-7-rumors-coalesce-around-q4-launch-mwc-announcem/), but it's always good to put a more legitimate source to what is quite the juicy forecast. Confirmation that Microsoft is planning to finalize all code by this summer also meshes with an earlier leak of an LG Windows Mobile 7 handset set for a September release (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/16/lg-releasing-windows-mobile-7-phone-in-september-and-android-2-1/), while the latest Pink phone rumors (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/microsoft-pink-targeting-teens-and-twenty-somethings-devices-la/) are also reiterated. At any rate, it all kicks off in Barcelona come February 15, with Microsoft also circling its MIX 2010 web development conference a month later as the time it'll start dishing the dirt on how to code for the new OS. So there we have it, new consumer phones and a long overdue WinMo overhaul all coming to you within the next few months.Windows Mobile 7 roadmap elucidated, starts with MWC 2010 demo (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/windows-mobile-7-roadmap-elucidated-starts-with-mwc-2010-demo/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:17:00 EST.
