Only 3 Chassis Types are Allowed for Windows 7 Phones, said Microsoft
Microsoft don’t want to repeat the previous mistake of letting any kind of phones to run its Mobile Operating system and cause some problems because of insufficient hardware resources. Well, the majority of the problems are definitely because of the bugs of Windows Mobile (I bet nobody would disagree with me on this), but difference of hardware specifications is also one big headache problem for mobile OS developers. Hence, Microsoft set some tough standards for phones that would run Windows Mobile 7, which was announced at MWC 2010 a week ago. The detailed specs of the phones are still not clear, but Microsoft did clearly mention that there will be only tree chassis models that Microsoft allows. Below are the chassis types.
Chassis 1: Meant for “big touchscreen phones”; they will be only touchscreens and have at least a 1 GHz processor such as Snapdragon, and will need its own dedicated graphics processor. Chassis 1 will be the first ones out of the gate for this holiday season.
Chassis 2: Slide-out keyboards will be added on alongside touchscreens.We assume the processor specs will be roughly similar to that of Chassis 1.
Chassis 3: There are no certain details on 3, though they are suspected to be candybar devices. No word on when 2 or 3 will be ready.
Microsoft looks like is ready to mount a serious challenge on iPhone and Google Android.
