One step in the right direction.
Controling a mobile decive should feel natural...
Sure, when you first get a WinMob 7 device, all this new ways to control it, will make you feel like a kid, getting a christmas gift... youll play a lot. But then, when you start using it for real, few of the controls will feel natural, at all... and you are back to using the stylus...

The same thing goes for the iPhone!

Microsoft a year behind Apple? OK... let's look at the evidence...

- iPhone has a nice UI, but given the choice for business functions Windows Mobile is FAR better.
- iPhone has one form, Windows Mobile effectively has many.
- You can have a Windows Mobile Device with equivalent specs to an iPhone FREE on contract.
- iPhone does not support many BASIC functions such as MMS because Apple want to change the whole landscape single-handedly... and yet take no notice that users of ANY OTHER TYPE OF PHONE are less than guaranteed to have e-mail set up on their handsets.

Put simply, Windows Mobile adapts to a variety of applications, the iPhone forces the user to conform to its requirements. In that sense phones have offered more flexibility than the iPhone since 2002 when the Nokia 7650 hit the market and introduced Smartphone OSes to the masses.

I agree that OSX is fabulous software... but until Apple removes it's head from its own rear end it will NEVER realise its full potential...

Until then I shall use my Nokia 6300 and Panasonic MP3 CD Player safe in the knowledge that I am £200.00 better off and also own equipment that outlives the average iPod and is less of a target for fashion victim thieves.

This prouves Microsoft is at least a year back of Apple instead of user interface. Also the speed on Windows devices is terrible... I have a tytn ii from HTC and its very very slow. Shame on Microsoft!

2009...
It will be to late...
We will probably se an update of the Iphone OS, by that time...
give us WinMo 7, 2008!!
And support accelerometer and gyros.... the camera solution doesnt fully work for SE so why should it for any of the WinMo phone makers??
about the batterytime, an accelerometer has the same problem... try to use the stepcounter on the N95....

It will probably be too heavy for most mobiles, like every Windows OS...

Minimum requirements: 1,6 GHz processor and 2 GB RAM memory! hahaha
