Windows Mobile 7 was originally slated for release by the end of 2009, but thankfully it looks like Microsoft may have it ready by Q1 of 2009.
Of course, with the upcoming 3G iPhone and a whole assortment of Google Android phones, they don’t really have a choice.
At the launch party for the new HTC Diamond, someone managed to get some one on one time with an HTC executive who spilled the beans:
When I asked Chen about details on the device carrying Google Android, he refused to speak about it, but the only thing he would tell me about the Windows Mobile 7 device is that it should be released in Q1 next year.

1Don’t forget that you’re still looking at a 6-9 month lag from when the WinMo OS is released to when you get to actually use it on hardware. So even if WinMo 7 comes out in Q1 hardware will be Q3-4. Microsoft will continue to lag in this field for the foreseeable future, it would seem.

2Well, in this case it’s HTC themselves that claim they will have a device in Q1. So with your (correct) logic, WM7 should be ready for vendors by Q3 of this year…
I don’t see that happening
