Windows Mobile 7 won't appear until next year.

Microsoft Kitchen supposedly acquired a slide from the recent Office 2010 presentation given to Microsoft partners. The image provided an overview of Office Mobile 2010: edit content on the go and save the changes back to the source, view charts, graphs and images as you see them on your main computer, seamless copy and paste across programs, and more.

But while Office Mobile 2010 sounds just grand, there was one detail that shadowed the whole slide. If the image was indeed not doctored by an external, non-Microsoft source, Windows Mobile 7 is set to release to manufacturing (RTM) in Spring 2010, perhaps slated for April. That means anxious consumers will have to wait for the mobile OS for another year: sometime around September/October 2010.

Microsoft originally planned to preload mobile phones with Windows Mobile 7 in April 2010, however now it seems that the portable OS will be delayed by at least six months. "The big question is: If they RTM in April 2010 or so, how much of a lag will there be till the OS gets on phones? If MS can take this lag out, as they claim they plan to do, that will help them get to market a little faster," said ZDNet'a Mary Jo Foley.

In addition to the Windows 7 Mobile date leak, Microsoft Kitchen provided a few Office Mobile 2010 mock-up screens as well, revealing mobile versions of OneNote and SharePoint.
