Windows Phone 7 coming to Europe in October, then to the US in November

By -
It’s been how what, three years since Windows Mobile 6 hit the scene? The wait for version 7 is nearing an end (though they’ve swapped “Mobile” for “Phone”). Microsoft’s COO Kevin Turner spilled the beans that Windows Phone 7 will arrive in the October-November time frame…

Redmond’s new hope to regain some footing in the mobile market (after the KIN project flopped badly) is Windows Phone 7 – a pretty drastic departure from the 6.x line. Mr. Turner says that WP7 phones will not like any other we’ve seen from Microsoft – and that it’s a good thing.

It is a good thing indeed, but will it be enough, remains to be seen. Apparently Europe will get Windows Phone 7 devices first, some time in October, and then the US in November.

In that time plenty of droids will have received the Android 2.2 Froyo update (some HTCs are getting it right now), even Symbian^3 may have debuted with the Nokia N8 (we’ll have to wait and see what kind of reception this one gets too). And Apple released four new OS versions starting from about the time WinMo 6 launched.

There are some quite interesting devices running Windows Phone 7 on the way, but by the time they come out competing OSes will have some serious lead.

After three I was laughing because they were so smooth then I stood up. Then something happened (obvious censoring) and everyone laughed at me for months after. Good times. The Long Island Ice Tea was long the king (queen?) of all strong alcoholic mixed drinks, and still deserves a place on the list. Recipe: 1 shot of vodka, 1 shot of rum, 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of triple sec, 1 lemon, coke. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice add the spirits into the cocktail shaker. Squeeze a fresh lemon into the shaker as well. Put the lid on and shake, add to a tall glass then add lots of ice before slowly pouring the coke on top of the ice. Note: many bartenders will make a weaker version with only half a shot of each. #4: Irish Car Bomb. Many versions of this have a ½ shot of whiskey mixed with a ½ shot of Irish Crea
