It looks like Microsoft is starting shift gears regarding Windows Mobile 7. Reports out of Redmond suggest that several trade shows will feature some much needed hype and unveiling for Microsoft’s new mobile OS. Barcelona is expected to be one such location, with several other top tier shows suggested, but not confirmed at this time. Windows Mobile 7 will apparently carry a whole slew of mobile tools that include Visual Studio 2010 and Office System 2010. Of course, Windows Mobile 7 will work hand in hand with Zune and Ebox. Windows Mobile 7 has lost a lot of ground over the last several months to other, more prominent, players in the mobile market. Look for Microsoft to attempt a comeback in 2010 in the hopes of tapping into the lucrative and strategic wireless sector. It will be a tough challenge to compete with the Android, iPhone and RIM, but Gates and company aren’t the ones to usually back down from a good fight.
