After several decades and several released version of Windows Mobile OS, Microsoft still fail to convince public that their OS are the best. or at least reach higher stability and performance, not like their Windows OS (slumpy). Until up to WM6, they still run them self in their own chaotic vision, and we do hope that the new WM7 series will be deviated a lot. The new release of Windows Mobile 7 will incorporate touch, gesture recognition

According to the document upon which the new information on Windows Mobile touch/gesture-recognition is based — which Weinberg says dates back to summer 2007 — Microsoft will be incorporating touch and gesture recognition into its Windows Mobile 7 platform.

Weinberg’s synopsis:

“Windows Mobile 7 will use touch gestures, similar to how the iPhone does. You will be able to flick through lists, pan, swipe sideway, draw on the screen. A lot of emphasis has been put on making navigation easier and doing away with scrollbars, including a new scroll handle that allows for multiple ways of finding items extremely fast.

“Windows Mobile 7 will use motion gestures, something the iPhone does not. It will not use an intricate and complicated series of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Instead, it will use the camera on the phone to detect motions and create appropriate actions. You will be able to shake, twist and otherwise manipulate the phone and get things done. The phone will be able to perform actions when placed face down on a surface, and it will know when it is in your pocket or bag.”

What’s your take? How much of this new input technology will debut in Windows Mobile 7? And how much of it, if any, will also show up in Windows 7?
