A talk at the development conference has revealed a third flavor of Windows Phone 7 Series, though alas, it does not appear to be the third chassis style we heard exists &mdash; unless the extra-hot camera is the third style. This shiny new Samsung keeps the lozenge style but has a more rounded look than the &#8220;reference&#8221; design we saw at launch. [<strong>update<\/strong>:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/03\/15\/samsungs-winpho7-handset-peeped-specs-set-in-stone\/\"> it&#8217;s just a hacked i8910<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>Some other news from the conference: as we expected, Microsoft is locking down the hardware requirements for WinPho7 devices, requiring them to meet or exceed certain qualifications. <span id=\"more-27916\"><\/span>And here they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>800&#215;480 screen (320&#215;480 to follow)<\/li>\n<li>256MB RAM, 8GB flash storage<\/li>\n<li>4-point multi-touch<\/li>\n<li>ARMv7 Cortex\/Scorpion or better<\/li>\n<li>DirectX9 support by GPU<\/li>\n<li>Codec acceleration (probably on GPU via DirectX)<\/li>\n<li>5 megapixel camera with flash and separate camera button<\/li>\n<li>Three hard buttons: Start, Search, and Back<\/li>\n<li>GPS, accelerometer, compass, light and proximity sensors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The resolution restriction is a good move for maintaining a similar visual experience across handsets. Actually, locking stuff down like this is good across the board &mdash; it means people are free to choose whichever hardware they like without worrying about whether they run the OS well. That&#8217;s a major concern for Android buyers right now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure the Samsung is not the &#8220;third chassis&#8221; mainly because of the upcoming HVGA resolution. That suggests to me a candy bar chassis with a full QWERTY keyboard, BlackBerry style. The effectively halved resolution makes perfect sense for that. Who knows when they&#8217;ll announce it, but I feel strongly that&#8217;s the case.<\/p>\n<p>[via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/microsoft-unveils-third-windows-phone-7-series-device-its-a-samsung-1577716\/\">SlashGear<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/U_K31TjAv6APgsVKZg63Lfzrio8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/U_K31TjAv6APgsVKZg63Lfzrio8\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/U_K31TjAv6APgsVKZg63Lfzrio8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/U_K31TjAv6APgsVKZg63Lfzrio8\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=plLK3wYTFi4:Gqai-iI-vWo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=plLK3wYTFi4:Gqai-iI-vWo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=plLK3wYTFi4:Gqai-iI-vWo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=plLK3wYTFi4:Gqai-iI-vWo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=plLK3wYTFi4:Gqai-iI-vWo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I told you MIX was going to be hot.
