Close to next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, PPCGeeks and MobileTechWorld says they have received information what is described to be a kind of feature-list of Microsoft's upcoming Windows Mobile 7. While both sites don't reveal any info where the information came from, it paints an interesting picture of what the next Windows Mobile version might be. According to the sites, Windows Phone 7 will sport an interface that's "very similar" to the Zune HD, along with a complete revamp of the start screen, and a user interface that's described as "very clean soulful and alive". Furthermore it's said the OS won't support multitasking but applications simply pausing themselves when in the background (there will be support for push notifications, though).
