That's normally true but...when M$ were developing WM5 they tested it on a couple of PDAs including the Blue Angel. While not officially released by M$ - it has leaked out and you can use it at your own risk. One of the developers of WM5 has a blog where all this is explained. See here: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/10/19/482683.aspx
WM5 on the Blue Angel is Dog Food. Read the blog and you will understand.

true or not?

There will be Windows 7 phone, but what about the Windows Mobile 7

Hello all,
As we know all, there will be the Windows 7 phone series, with the new UI,etc... OK
But, anyone know if there will be a Windows Mobile 7 ?
In fact, a lot of compagny use Windows Mobile 5 or 6 on PDA or NON Phone device, in order to use professionnal application.
I would like to know if Microsoft will release a Windows Mobile 7 in addition to Windows Phone7
Thanks a lot if you have an answer
regards,
Nixeus

I've written about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634790
In short: The Windows Mobile 7 project is dead. They killed the project about one and a half years ago and started from scratch with what is now Windows Phone OS 7.0.

Wow
I don't understand the Microsoft Choice !!!
How companies will use Mobile system for Non phone ARM device ?
They will need to use non Microsoft system
I'm sad that Windows Mobile is dead

That's not actually an answer to the question.
There almost certainly will be PNAs etc, as CE6.0 or CE7 will be available. They may not have the WP7 UI, but I don't think you get the UI on any PNA.

windows mobile 7 application

Hello,
I have seen freeware websites , there are windows mobiles 7 applications , but i cannot download straight to pc like windows mobile 5/6 , i need software like Zune Software or something like that , i have never been using windows mobilw 7 phone so never been trying.
So anybody know is that windows mobile 7 applications can install manually like
windows mobile 5/6 or do i need special pc software like itunes.
Thanks

to install apps you must use the Marketplace tile. this will let you access music, games etc. beware you must have a data connection and probably wifi for bigger files if you want to sync your music and picture you MUST use Zune software. and the sync it with your WP7 device.

so , do you mean i cannot transfer cab file to the device and then on the file explorer i cannot install cab file by double clicking like windows mobiles 5/6?
Thanks

You are correct in your assumption.

Windows mobile 7
i have owned many windows mobile phone since the xda1.
i never owned such a rubbish as bad as windows mobile 7.
i have now moved to android 2.2 and i am very happy but why microsoft ruined such excellent windows mobile 6.5 with this rubbish.
you cant sync with outlook.
you dont have file explorer.
there is no expansion slot for sd card.
i cant use any of my old softwares.
the platform is gone back to different system
Microsoft is doing same thing apple is been doing for years..... manipulating users.....

As a former wm6.5 owner, I can say you're full of crap to call WP7 rubbish.
None of the things you mentioned with the exception of SD card are missed.
Just because things are done differently doesn't make them rubbish, just different, and in this case, better.
And if you think Android 2.2 is better, you are certifiably mad!

MS didnt ruin WM 6.5, its still available and you can always get a WM 6.x device if thats what you want. WP7 is completely different from WM and as such wont suit anyone looking for the power and flexibility of WM.

There are lots of apps from several developers (same with Android) if you know how to look for them. Ex. TouchExplorer & Registry Explorer
there is no expansion slot for sd card.

There's a saying, "you can't please everyone."
There's also another saying that goes, "People fear change because they are afraid to leave their comfort zones. They usually stagnate."

It's Windows Phone 7.
There's no such thing as Windows Mobile 7, you cannot install or use apps from previous Windows Mobile 6/5/4 oses. Windows Phone 7 is a completely new os.

So do you mean all applications that i bought for Windows Mobile 6/5/4 oses will be useless for Windows Phone 7.
Many thanks

Yes
Yes, you are correct, Windows Mobile 6.X applications will not work on Windows Phone 7. However, as I discover daily, more and more 6.X applications are being rewritten for WP7. Today, I use many WP7 versions of the WM 6.X applications I depended on.
BTW I will NEVER go back to WM 6.x, NEVER!!!!!!

Yes, windows mobile is no longer fully supported and WP7 was built from the ground up. No Winmo apps will work on WP7 as it utilizes an entirely different file type. WP7 is not Windows mobile 7, it's something much bigger.
