The long wait is finally over, well almost. It is planned for release in late 2010. Windows Mobile 7 Series was originally intended to be released during 2009, but several delays prompted Microsoft to develop Windows Mobile 6.5 as an interim release.

Microsoft revealed the details of the Windows Mobile software during the Mobile World Congress in February 2010. The interface, known as "Metro", has been completely revised and is visually similar to the interface of the Zune HD. Microsoft has issued hardware requirements to manufacturers, with the specification requiring all Windows Mobile 7 Series devices to feature three buttons (Back button, Start button and Search button) and FM Radio capabilities.

Python 3.0 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. Also, the standard library has been reorganized in a few prominent places.
