If you want to know the latest Windows mobile news, then you should know that there has been a complete reset for the Windows Phone 7. The new phone operating system is quite different, and the developing software used will be either Silverlight or XNA, the latter of which is used for Xbox games. A representative from Microsoft says that the developers, overnight, have become Windows Phone developers, and that their latest principle is to build on giants’ shoulders.

At the Mobile World Congress of last month, Microsoft announced these plans and showed off the new user interface. This step will not only bring the Windows Mobile phone closer to gaming efforts and also the Microsoft’s Web, but is also breaks away from all the past versions of Windows Mobile. A little work could be done to get the applications to run, but at the very basic level, it’s a different platform, said a Windows Phone representative. There are no plans on the part of Microsoft to allow any current Windows Mobile phones to run on this new operating software.

This is due to start shipment onto new devices by the holiday season of this year. This is part of a complete re-set, and the new operating system is a complete break with all the past versions – so it’s quite a major development, thanks to a dedicated team of engineers and executives. In fact, the product resembles the Zune HD quite a bit, more so than any past version of Windows Mobile.
