Windows Mobile 7 coming in February, maybe with gestures
Rumors have been flying about an update to Windows Mobile next month, but it was an open question whether it would be Windows Mobile 6.6 or 7. Well, the gadget blogosphere is leaning toward 7. Our sister site, Engadget, saw some confirmation from mobile phone manufacturer LG that WinMo 7 would be out this year, and followed that up with a report from an analyst briefing at Microsoft. Gizmodo got a hot tip that it will be out in February.At the risk of getting overexcited about a rumor, I'll tell you what else Gizmodo's tipster said: Windows Mobile 7 will apparently support the motion-sensing gestures that have been kicking around the rumor mill for a few years. That means you'll be able to use the phone without actually touching it. Slick! The only problem is that Windows Mobile 7 might not be a simple upgrade for current WinMo users. It will reportedly need newer hardware with better specs and gesture support - like those LG phones Engadget was talking about, perhaps?
As much fun as it is to roil up a nice, fresh potful of delicious rumors, nothing here has been officially confirmed by Microsoft, so don't be completely shocked if February rolls around and we get to meet Windows Mobile 6.6 instead of 7.

Is it that shocking?
Microsoft Research had been doing alot of work in IR Sensors, Voice and Machine learning over the last 15 yrs and now we have Project Natal.
Looking at the mobile research and sensor research at Microsoft Research leads me to believe that they were going to be able to bring this to fruition 15-20 years later which we're at the 15 year mark.
This ought to be interesting.
