Windows Mobile to Become Windows Phone Classic, To Coexist with Windows Phone 7 Series


Windows Phone 7 Series

jkOnTheRun has recently posted information made available from Microsoft, letting the current Windows Mobile users know that they will not be completely left out in the cold once Windows Phone  7 Series hits.  Instead, what we currently know as Windows Mobile will become dubbed Windows Phone Classic.  Microsoft is stating that Windows Phone Classic is going to peacefully coexist alongside 7 Series, hopefully providing a long life for what we currently get to experience as Windows Mobile.

This is great news for those who are not necessarily enthralled with the new operating system, and for those who may not be quite yet willing to forego their application set.  If you are one of those who have not been enthralled with Windows Phone 7 Series, does this news make you feel just a bit better?  It does provide a bit of comfort for me, I must admit.

Just when Apple thought Android was its sole competition than MS came with another bigger sword to cut the share.

Ugh…just when I thought Microsoft was getting it together with Windows Phone Mobile Series 7 Premium Starter Edition, they go and do this. I really think Microsoft needs to take the same people that designed the new Windows Phone UI and have them brainstorm on some decent names for their platform. I would even take the Bing or Zune names over their new naming scheme.
