This time he might&#8217;ve just outdone himself with some apparent hands-on time with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/WindowsMobile7\/\">Windows Mobile 7<\/a>. Here&#8217;s what he&#8217;s saying via Twitter: the OS has been built on scratch, and none of the old WinMo 6.x apps worked. There&#8217;s &#8220;a lot of horizontal movements, a lot of additional info by clicks&#8230; for WM users it will be a great step ahead. For market it&#8217;s a copycat of Android 3.1\/3.2 [sic] or iPhone.&#8221; No direct comparison to Zune HD, except to say that it&#8217;s a simpler UI than what he was seeing here, and also no clue on the kernel underneath. Still, the lack of legacy compatibility is either a huge bummer to the fan base, or if not that then Microsoft is preparing for a two-platform WinMo world. Then again, this is a purported early build (and while we&#8217;re at it, an unconfirmed hands-on), so who knows what&#8217;s bound to change before the final release.
