The video starts off like an unassuming promotion for Windows' Live Mesh services. As cool as the prospect of a absolutely “connected life” is, the real gem in this video is a brief glimpse of the next-generation Windows Mobile.
Fast forward to about 00:32 (32 seconds) to get a sneak peak at the next major revamping of Windows Mobile - Windows Mobile 7. Compared to the sliding-pane view on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Today Screen (Home Screen), Windows Mobile 7 looks more like an evolutionary update. Whereas Windows Mobile 6.1 is more of a cosmetic refresh on Windows Mobile (aside from much-welcomed features like threaded SMS text messages), Windows Mobile 7 looks like it has built some more functionality behind the aesthetics. The sneak-peak is too short to really get a feel for WM7, so this is all speculation. But, from what we can see, it looks like the sliding-pane motif has been expanded on.
