What many people don't know is that the ATC has been largely responsible for the user experience design of Windows Mobile. This however is no longer the case as WM 6.5 was their last project, but up and until now, they've been busy conceptualizing the future of Windows Mobile. Most of those concepts have never surface in public before, until now."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1246321775.usr14226.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Cool stuff. Shame most of them won't ever hit store shelves (phones or UI), but maybe somebody else might pick up on these design ideas (<em>pace</em> IP rights), and incorporate them into future Windows mobile devices.</p>

Nothing new..... unfortunately.
It is like the wonderful concepts coming out from MS Research:

The Microsoft CIW Concept
The Future Desk
2019 Future Vision
etc. etc.

Great concepts, ahead of any competition.... that never materialize

This reminds me of a segment on Top Gear, where the hosts were ranting about Jagaur. Essentially it went:

"Jagaur, we know you can design concepts. Now go make one of them already!"
