Windows Mobile 7 wont work with current Windows apps
Windows Mobile 7 which is expected to debut next month was allegedly handled by Russian Windows Mobile newshound Eldar Murtazin and he sure is talking.
There were no mentions of the futuristic gestures that we have previously heard about but a lot was heard about Zune. The UI was actually more complicated than the ZuneHD.
There is not much more in terms of elaboration on that point but it has been told that the menus were similar to the ZuneHD and feature horizontal navigation.
Murtazin also said that the UI seemed heavily inspired by Android 3.1 and the iPhone. Having said that familiar mobile standby features such as soft keys and click and hold were also on hand. It has been reported that users wouldn’t be able to upgrade from Windows 6.5 to 7 because of the new gesture controls.
He also said that none of the 6 apps worked on the handset he was using and that OS appeared to have been built from scratch. Source – gizmodo.com

END OF THE LINE
This would mean it is the end of the line for today’s Windows Mobile phones.
The current Windows Mobile platform will be axed. The current Windows Mobile phones won’t be upgradeable due to gestures. The current Windows Mobile software won’t work on any platform in the near future.
In other words, you’d be made to buy a Windows Mobile phone of today. If you need Windows Mobile, you really need to wait until version 7 is out.
