Microsoft pink release date announced to spring 2010

“Pink“ is the codename for a planned smartphone by Microsoft and Verizon to compete with the Apple iPhone. It may use technologies from Zune and Danger. They also plan to launch an app store to go with the phone. The targeted market for the Pink Project is the teen/2x years market.

Project Pink, the mystery what is it said to be emanating from the Microsoft Premium Mobile eXperiences (PMX) group built around the people and technologies nabbed after the Danger acquisition, is a project build outside Windows Mobile 7 section. Rumors say that the Pink devices might be the first to run Microsoft’s new premium Pink services but still be WinMo 6.x based.

Microsoft Pink released this spring ?

If all said are true, we could see the Microsoft pink inthe first quarter of 2010, with no need to expect Windows Mobile 7 that will be lunched at the end of the year. I guess we will have to wait until Mobile World Congress.
