The official press announcements are still an hour away, but already MGB has the first details on what Microsoft will be announcing during the Mobile World Congress.
The new high-end series of mobile phones will be called “Windows Phone 7 Series”. The UI will be aimed at touch controls. The homescreen will be supporting Widgets and the phone will support Xbox Live (something the company has been working on for years).
Though it is not clear if Xbox Live is only accessible for tracking your personal player data, availability of the platform to Windows Mobile developers could boost the platform a lot. It will also more or less out rule other social gaming platforms from entering the Windows Mobile market.
Ah well, let’s wait for Steve Ballmer
