HTC Windows Phone 7 tips up on the Internet

Pictures and video are wild speculation not proof says handset maker
Mon Aug 09 2010, 15:15

PICTURES AND VIDEO of an HTC handset with the words Windows Phone inscribed on it and running what The INQUIRER thinks appears to be the Windows Phone 7 OS user interface have appeared on the Internet.

Despite what would seem to be a slam dunk scoop with apparently undeniable visual proof, HTC still told The INQUIRER that it doesn't comment on "speculation and rumour". The handset manufacturer has announced that it will offer a Windows Phone 7 phone and the OS is expected to tip up just before or during December.

The pictures and video are another embaressing leak for handset makers, after Apple, Motorola and other products found their way to websites earlier this year. Even if the HTC handset is an early prototype that does not represent the final product, the images are likely to be another example of a lack of supply chain security. Then again it could all be part of a cunning guerilla marketing campaign.

The user interface demonstrated in the video appears to be the Windows Phone 7 OS that was shown to The INQUIRER in a one on one briefing during the last week of July. µ

He was just fucking with you Jimbo, the link that matters, you know, the link to the video, is a dead link, it leads to a godaddy landing page!

Rob...be careful...

...you've actually included LINKS in your article. I've always thought that was strickly VERBOTEN at the Inq since no other Inq hacks ever bother. I'm just hoping for the day that the Inq will even include an image or two of the toy in question. Nah...that's too much to ask.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
