Sorry to all you Windows Mobile fans but if you have had a bad day then what I am about to tell you is going to make it slightly worse. According to tips given to CNET  by Microsoft the release date of windows mobile 7 has been pushed back once again. 

 

This defiantly spells disaster for the Windows Mobile platform. With the android platform finally out and the iPhone taking most of the market windows mobile is really going to have to kick it into gear to compete. 

 

Among some of the features that are highly expected to be part of the release is advanced gesture recognition, using technology similar to the iPhone and possibly using the camera as means for reading gestures. Better speech input and enhanced active sync features are also expected for this new version of the windows mobile software.

 

With Windows Mobile 6.1 just hitting the streets I think Microsoft is really going to have to rethink the Mobile platform and bring something more than just enhanced features. I wish I have more on this topic but seeing as Microsoft has said little to nothing about Windows Mobile 7 I am left with little to tell.
