Windows Mobile 7 delayed: Coming in second half of 2009

Windows Mobile 7T-Mobile and Google are announcing the availability of the first mobile phone running the new Google Android software today. But if you're holding out for the next generation of Windows Mobile devices, it looks like you might have to wait a while. CNet is reporting that Windows Mobile 7, which had widely been expected to ship early next year, will not be available until the second half of 2009.

The news comes from Microsoft partners, not the company itself. But a delay could seriously hurt Microsoft's mobile market share. The company faces increasing competition from Apple, Google, and Research in Motion.

Microsoft could offer some new features to Windows Mobile 6 users this year, including an improved web browser and better support for online Flash content.
