At Mobile World Congress 2010  in Barcelona,  Microsoft wasn’t the only one showing it’s new pretty Windows Mobile 7 O.S. . The guys from Symbian Foundation were also there and they were happy to unveil the future of Symbian: Symbian^3.

As they say on their wiki page, the main highlights of Symbian 3 are:

• UI Simplifications for an improved user experience
• New features such as a podcast manager and  improved Homescreen
• Architectural improvements that speed up the user interface and improve the behaviour of network-aware applications

Out first impression: Looks great! The upgraded user interface is a lot easier to use and customizable as you can see it in the  short video below.

Announced at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona , Windows Mobile 7 will be available in stores by the end of 201o, just in time for holiday season I would say .

A lot of the tech bloggers are thrilled about it and the ones that have attended MWC2010 have a lot of good words about the new O.S.. The UI is redesigned and adapted for the new generation touch screen mobiles. No more  menus and sub menus and millions of icons. If you had the chance to play with a Zune, then WM7 will be pretty familiar also the interface it’s optimized for a finger friendly touch screen but  this doesn’t mean we won’t see mobiles with a physical keyboard.  I hope that with the upgraded UI we will also get an improved touch screen, one that could finally match the ones on the iPhone and iPod touch!
