So far only three devices have been demoed with WP7, an Asus prototype, LG Panther and the Omnia i8910 which was a one off hack demo.
reports are out that the Omnia was demoed again at ?reMIX? in France. Running a recent build of Windows Phone 7, the device/OS seemed fast and responsive with all the features functional. Video clips of the phone show it performing day to day tasks and playing a ported Xbox Live Arcade/iPhone game. Which was apparently programmed in one week using 90% shared code.
The Omnia used to demo does not have the original OMAP3 processor inside, instead a more powerful SnapDragon processor has been installed.
Windows phone 7 is a much anticipated update to Microsoft?s older Windows Mobile platform, it?s due to drop late this year. There has been allot buzz surrounding the release of WP7. Mozilla and Skype dropped the development of their products due to restrictions on the OS and there have been regular leaks regarding new phone models. But it?s all par for the course with a release of this nature, the hype machine is in full motion.
