Windows Phone 7 in the horizon... sooner than later

I had a first-hand experience with a prototype of the (it seems to be) fabulous new Windows Phone 7, slated to be released this coming holiday season. The prototypes, which are circulating in developers users groups here in New York and anywhere else in the country, are mostly intended to showcase the sort of new UI (named Metro and loosely based on the Zune interface).  And, no, this is not exactly an update to the Windows Mobile 6.5, this is a new product designed from the ground up, with a totally new OS and it will also bring, among a number of cool features, console-like gaming experience with XBox Live. Developers will receive the final Windows Phone Developer Tools on September 16th. If you want to know more go here...
