Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT<\/a>) will have its moment in the mobile spotlight at the World Mobile Conference in Barcelona Monday—and details are leaking out about what it has in store: Microsoft will<\/em> (as widely expected<\/a>) unveil the newest version of its mobile operating system, Windows Mobile 7. The WSJ<\/em> says<\/a> that Windows Mobile 7 will come with a user interface similar to Microsoft’s sleek Zune HD music player; Bloomberg<\/em> also says<\/a> the new operating system “will be more integrated with the … Xbox game machine and Zune music player, so users can share music and videos among Microsoft devices.” <\/p>\n

New branding may also be on the way. All About Microsoft<\/em>‘s Mary-Jo Foley speculates<\/a> that phones running the operating system will be called “Windows Phone 7;” previously Microsoft had been referring to all Windows Mobile phones as “Windows Phones.”\n<\/p>\n

What’s not being announced: The long-rumored (and top-secret) project “Pink” smartphone that Microsoft has been working on<\/a>. But the WSJ <\/em>does say the device—which is aimed at teens—could come to market as soon as this spring. The phone is being built by Sharp and will be sold by Verizon.<\/p>\n

We’ll be on the ground in Barcelona and will provide live coverage here.\n<\/p>\n
