Looks rubbish, looks old - shows nothing interesting - Kosha is one dull fella too - bet people had their pillows out and sleeping.

So question is, does Windows mobile 7 bring anything to the market that will make people second think about android or apple os - in a word 'NO'

Give up Microsoft, you've lost here.

Actually, I own Memory Map Mobile and can run it on a Windows Handheld which I cannot do if I buy an andriod or anything else. I'm not about to spend several grand to change my mapping system so I can use Android.

Looks old? You are referring to windows phone 7 right? I dont see how its Old when it is based on a new design and i believe a new CE but im probably wrong. The user interface is great so far, the zune had it almost perfect so following the same design i fail to see how that could fail.

The new features it brings to the market, i agree i dont think there is anything and if anything they have taken away some things that were in windows 6.5 and 6.5.5, it seems they tried to pull an apple but MS doesnt have a band of sheep at its knees so its hard to expect success from this.

Im hoping MS have just done so well about leaks that infact WP7 now looks amazing and has so much reliability and features... we can only hope aye?

Are you sure it will run on Windows Phone 7? It is an entirely different beist to Windows Mobile and Windows CE.
