Mary Jo Foley lets usa in on some possible info almost this "Pink" stuff. Beginning, there'southward these reported specs for 'Chasis 1' which according to Foley "seems to be the the heart of the rumored "Pinkish" Microsoft phone and possibly other Windows Mobile seven phones made by Microsoft partners".

In other words, Pink may be a prototype/demo unit of measurement/scaffold for developers to model their next-gen WM7 handsets on--and then Microsoft is setting the bar on what the minimum requirements volition be and what they envision the ideal handset would be like. Sounds pretty plausible to our ears. At present onto those rumored specs:

WM7 Chassis 1 Specification

Core requirements:

Then we take an addition of a compass (iPhone is rumored to go that too), microUSB, accelerometer, calorie-free sensors, required aGPS, in that location's that ol' Multi-touch and some high finish processors on board. Gone is also anything less than VGA for resolution, which is something we welcome.

In that location we take information technology...think this all sounds legit? Can y'all (and the market) wait till 2022?
