According to various sites, the release of Windows Mobile 7 has been delayed. Microsoft recently informed its partners about the delay (moved from early 2009 to late 2009). This means that Windows Mobile 7 might not reach the hands of consumers even by late 2009 or early 2010. This is a serious blow to Microsoft in the mobile space because Apple iPhone, Google Android and Nokia's OS are all moving along.

Windows Mobile 7 is expected to have Gesture recognition and speech input.

However, Microsoft is expected to have a better browser before the release of Windows mobile 7 (likely to be in Windows mobile 6.2). The improved browser will be similar to the desktop version of Internet Explorer 6 and will probably be called Internet Explorer Mobile 6. It is likely to have full Flash support.
