Windows mobile 7 pour le HD2 !

Fake ou pas ? Le site WinMo.nl nous propose en tout cas une photo cadrée sur un HTC HD2 doté de Windows Phone 7 Series. Et entre nous, le processeur cadencé à 1GHz du HD2 peut sans doute supporter sans trop de mal le dernier OS mobile de Microsoft… Reste maintenant à voir si la firme de Redmond pense être en mesure de proposer des upgrades permettant de passer de WM 6.5 à WP 7. Et ça, c’est déjà moins sûr…

Phone 7 Series upgrade path, as will most--if not all--current
generation devices. The reason being the hard-standed requirements on
the 3 buttons--Start, back, and search. While many HTC HD2 users will be
upset by the fact that they will not be able to move their devices
forward to the next-generation OS, I understand--and
appreciate--Microsoft's decision on this as it does create and enhance
the user experience to have a consistent 3-button arrangement.


Users who purchase any mobile device should not buy under the
assumption that they will get an upgrade to the next generation OS.
While Google, Microsoft, and Apple have been
generous with providing upgrade paths, that's not the norm. New
software--whether it be from the OS or via third party applications--may
require stronger, modern hardware and some software requires specific
hardware sets that may serve to define the user experience.


In the MIX10 press question & answer set, we also discovered
that Microsoft may be standardizing on sensors, which may be another
reason for a lack of upgrade path--the company may be requiring some
uniformity in sensor hardwares to create sensor APIs for developers to
access in Windows Phone 7 Series.

• No copy & paste
  
• No true multi-tasking, except for special hub apps like Pandora.
  
• Marketplace is the only way to install apps, except for developers,
  beta versions and enterprise. ( that was the case with the iPhone too,
  but ever heard of jail-breaking )
  
• No removable storage. ( device comes with 8GM min internal storage )
  
• No file system – apps can only access their own directory. ( No file
  explorer app that will allows the user to go through the files on the
  device )
  
• No USB drive mode.
  
• No replacement of the default apps – while Opera will be allowed, it
  could not be the default browser.
  
• No 3rd party shells
  
• No native code
  
• No peer to peer gaming. ( well not during launch at least )
