Windows Mobile 7
Windows Mobile 7, codenamed "Photon", is a major upgrade planned for release in June 2010, and a beta is planned to be released to testers during November 2009. The updated version was initially intended to be released during 2009, but due to several delays caused Microsoft to release 6.5 instead as a placeholder.
The upcoming Windows Mobile 7 will features a revamped UI, multi-touch and motion-related features. Companies such as MWg and HTC are expected to release Windows Mobile Professional devices supporting this version.

Also an intelligent camera with motion sensor, sensitive to light conditions will be there in the new operating system.
Various analysts predict that the upcoming operating system from Microsoft will be the answer to the Palm Pre’s Synergy, which automatically aggregates contact information from all your social networks by making manual updates to your address book obsolete.
