<\/a>There's still some question about whether Windows Mobile 6.6 or Windows Mobile 7<\/a> will be shown in February, but a solid tipster just told us that it will<\/i> be WM7. And then he describes it.<\/p>

Here are a couple things described about WinMo 7 that mesh with the rumors we've heard before. First, it'll have the Natal-like gestures to be able to use the phone without touching it. We first heard about gestures on WM7 two years ago<\/a>, and then sprinkled about the rumors in the past year.<\/p>

Then, he says that you won't be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 7<\/a>, because the OS actually requires you to have better hardware (faster processor, more memory, etc) and includes support for the motion-sensing gestures above.<\/p>

This bit also meshes with the rumored specs of the \"Zune phone\"<\/a>, which is basically Windows Mobile<\/a> 7. From that rumor:<\/p>

ARM v6+ processor, with an Open GL ES 2.0-capable graphics chip-this may be the TI3430 or the Nvidia Tegra. To show all the eye candy there will be a 3.5\" 800 x 480 or 854 x 480 pixels touchscreen. The specification also points out at other things in Pink, like 3-megapixel camera, GPS, light sensor, 3-axis compass, accelerometer, USB, Bluetooth, and full Wi-Fi support.<\/p><\/blockquote>

But then how does that account for the HD2, which HTC Russia<\/a> claimed will be getting a WM7 upgrade? Because HD2 is basically the top of the line right now, which—looking at its specs—put it into the Windows Mobile 7-capable category.<\/p>

So yes, it seems like we'll be seeing Windows Mobile 7 at Mobile World Congress in February. It better be pretty damn good for Microsoft's projection of being able to regain 25% of the phone market by 2014.<\/p>

Thanks tipster!<\/i><\/p>
