We have been reporting recently about Palm's operating system, planned for mid-2007, is coming only in mid-2009, and now we have details of a delay in the launch of Windows Mobile 7. Sources close to Microsoft have reported that we will have to wait until the second half of next year, thus making Microsoft to be in a serious disadvantage. The currently available Windows Mobile 6.1 has improved quite a lot compared to its predecessor, but it's still far from its competitors, both in usability and technical specs. Although HTC TouchFLO 3D, Sony Ericsson XPERIA PAnels and proprietary user interfaces from other manufacturers can cover some of the downsides, but such problems like memory leaks, system instability and slowdowns are still there.
