So, after much, much speculation and many, many rumours,
Microsoft finally took the wraps off Windows Phone 7 Series, its newest mobile operating system. Hold on to your hats, because uncharacteristically for the Redmond giant, they've rebuilt everything from the ground up - this system has little to no connection to the Windows Mobile of yore. I don't say this lightly - but dear lord,
Windows Phone 7 Series is full of win.
Update: Hands-on video
from Engadget inside.
Update II: There is no sync application. It's all done over-the-air, to the internet. Only videos and music are synced via the Zune software.
Update III: Since I didn't mention it clearly, here it goes: Windows Phone 7 Series is a clean break. There is
no backwards compatibility
at all.
Update IV: Channel9 has a
22-minute in-depth demonstration of Windows Phone 7 Series.

The pictures app is really cool. Most of the pictures I care about are now on facebook, so the integration is pretty awesome.
The xbox integration could be an important feature. I can see that being pretty powerful leverage.
