This is probably going to sound negative, but... this sounds like an iPhone OS that integrates into Microsoft's software and services instead of Apple's. That's going to be great for people who are very invested in MS's ecosystem, but is there anything else that differentiates WinMo 7 from competitors?

Seems like this might help MS hold ground in the mobile market, but it doesn't have much ground to hold at this point.

WinMo is more comparable to Android.  It is an OS that hardware manufacturers can use on a device they are making.  Apple is the only one who uses the iPhone OS(not sure what the name is).  HTC, Motorola, etc have all made Android devices. 

As for what differentiates it, you could have asked the same question about Android.

I have, and the primary answer was immediately apparent: Open source software. Beyond that, Android offers a few key features that some people find very important such as multitasking and Flash. WinMo 7 offers none of that. And of course, just like Apple and MS, Android is designed to integrate tightly with Google's various other software and service platforms.

So if you desire the most open and flexible mobile platform, you pick Android, and if you want the most streamlined and integrated user experience, you pick iPhone OS. I'm trying to figure out what WinMo 7 will do better than any other major mobile OS, and "integrate with Windows/Xbox/Zune" is the only answer I can see right now. I realize that we're just looking at rumours right now, I was just wondering if there was some killer feature of WinMo 7 that I was missing.
