First of all I want to congratulate two dear friends of mine, they gave birth to a little baby girl with the name Isa.

Now to the point, the revealing of the new mobile operating flagship Windows Phone Series 7. With this new version they want too step away from there old and non touch friendly mobile operating system and introduce a new and friendlier interface to work with. This version is based on the Windows CE 6 kernel, like they used on the Zune HD. The first handsets that will running this operating system will be available this summer.

The interface is a completely renewed with the intention for more finger friendliness. It looks like pages from a newspaper where you can swipe through, my personal opinion is that it looks a bit messy at start, and you can lose focus on where you are. But maybe it just takes time to get used too.

We all know that the Nexus One seems to be a great phone to have. Great speed and much of the wanna-haves are on board. The only downside of that phone is that its missing the multi-touch interface. To focus on a part on the website in the browser application you needed to press the zoom button or double tap on an area. But this has was not as nice when you could do it with 2 fingers pinching in and out, this flaw has recently been picked up by the development team.

This team has released a new software update where they introducing the multi-touch (pinch and zoom) interface to the phone.  In this release they also added Google Goggles. So guys and galls… While you probably thought this phone couldn’t get any better… well think again, and start zooming!
