Windows Mobile 7 Released in 2009

Microsoft recently announced that they were delaying the release of their next-generation mobile operating system, Windows Mobile 7, which was originally planned for release in "early 2009." According to CNet, the new planned release date is "the second half of next year [2009]."

This prediction states that Microsoft will release Windows Mobile 7 before or during the second half of 2009, as they are now claiming.

The prediction will be judged true if a next-generation version of Windows Mobile is made commercially available before December 31, 2009. It is not necessary for any devices to be sold with Windows Mobile 7 installed for this prediction to be judged correct. The prediction will still be judged as correct if Microsoft chooses to rebrand Windows Mobile or if it changes its numbering scheme (for example, Windows Mobile 2009), as long as the product is released during the designated timeframe.

The prediction will be judged as incorrect if the December 31 deadline passes without a finished version of Microsoft's next-generation Windows Mobile OS being released. If at any time Microsoft publicly announces a delay that would put the release any time after December 31, 2009, the prediction will be immediately judged as incorrect.
