Windows Phone 7 set to launch October 11th?

The Windows Phone 7 mill is churning again. In recent weeks and months more and more information has leaked out surrounding Microsoft’s new mobile project WP7. The project is set to bring Microsoft back into the mobile industry with a bang and impress the pants off of anyone that would potentially be interested. With what Microsoft has shown the world at this point, it surely seems to be impressive, but when will WP7 show its face, is really the last question to be answered. The manufacturers of the phones have been chosen and issued the operating system, a commercial has been aired and the developers have been given the opportunity to being making there apps run with the WP7. So the last bit of information needed here is, when.

Well it looks as if the good folks over at Pocket-Lint have unearthed some information surrounding the time frame. Citing “Multiple sources familiar with the matter” Pocket-Lint has been advised that WP7 will launch on October 11^th 2010. A pretty definitive date, the information then goes on to state that New York will be Microsoft’s city of choice to launch the OS globally. Unfortunately Pocket-Lint’s sources would not expose themselves, however, these insiders are said to be “senior figures within the industry”, that the site has come to know and trust. After the October 11^th launch the OS would then be readily available later within the month. This launch information is surely lining up almost perfectly with Microsoft’s default status when questioned about the release, “In time for the holidays”.

When questioned by Pocket-Lint about the rumor Microsoft stated “We do not comment on rumor or speculation”. That sounds to me like a yes. So as always with these rumors and speculations, only time will tell. We will surely keep you updated when more information on WP7 presents itself.
