Microsoft is getting more serious on hardware specs for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series devices. The Redmond giant is making a new business approach to rule the mobile market and telling phone makers to conform to its regulations.
Now it seems like there will be three basic chassis will be released for phone maker companies to comply, according to a Microsoft Australia podcast first spotted by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley.
The three different chassis will something according to this:
The first chassis that is expected to launch along with Windows Phone 7 by the holidays is for the touch devices. Big touch-screen phones with no keyboard, like the HTC Droid Eris or the Apple iPhone.
Second chassis for touch-screen phones with a sliding or folded keyboard, like the Motorola Droid or the HTC Touch Pro 2.
And the third – well, the podcasters didn’t say much about the third form-factor.
Microsoft keeps saying it will unveil more specification information at its MIX conference next month. That’s where we’ll ostensibly find out whether Windows Phone 7 will have backward compatibility – whether Windows Mobile apps will run on the new, Zune-based operating system.
