So Microsoft's Charlie Kindel posted up a long blog post about Windows Phone 7 Series and app development (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/microsoft-talks-windows-phone-7-series-development-ahead-of-gdc/) just now, and we couldn't help but notice the WP7S device mockup he used is noticeably different from the stock press shots (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-phone-7-series-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/) we've been seeing and the actual devices (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/27/exclusive-lgs-windows-phone-7-series-early-prototype-unveiled/) we've gotten to play with (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/windows-phone-7-series-hands-on-and-impressions/). That's a totally different hardware trim, for starters, and there's a Zune-like menu on the right-- on the builds we've seen scrolling to the right reveals the app list. And that map on the bottom has been moved up a couple rows from where we've seen it (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/microsoft-offers-up-lengthy-windows-phone-7-series-video-walkthr/) on demo builds -- which is unfortunate because it's so wildly ugly in comparison to the rest of the 7 Series interface. Now, this could actually be an older mockup, not a newer one, so we're not reading too much into this, but it's clear that Microsoft is still making a ton of tweaks to the WP7S interface as time goes on -- hopefully we'll see some final results at MIX.Windows Phone 7 Series mockup changes slightly, Zune menu making a comeback?
