Leaked Windows Phone 7 Docs Describe Updates, Customization

"The documents reinforce our understanding of Windows Phone 7 as a revamped approach, though there are still obvious traces of Windows Mobile. Microsoft wants to control both the hardware and apps as much as it possibly can without actually taking away the role of its partners. Thus, it is trying to restrict the influence of providers, manufacturers, and users so that the overall experience is improved. We'll be watching closely for changes and additions in later revisions of the architecture's specifications."

The more I read about Windows Phone 7, the more nervous I get. I want it to work and be huge. I'd love to see Microsoft get back in the mobile device game in a big way. I just hope they can. With the Iphone being so big and a new OS and possibly a new Iphone coming, I just feel that Windows Phone 7 seems like a long way off. Things are sounding good though. The Snapdragon processor will be fast and the resolution sounds great. Thank goodness MS is taking over the update feature instead of waiting for the providers. And hopefully Direct 3D 11 will provide enough graphics juice to be impressive. What do you all think? Are these features going to be in time or will people be looking past Windows Phone 7 and on to the next best thing when this fall arrives?
