While most of the world will be buzzing about Apple today (and for many weeks to come, depending on how good that iTablet or whatever actually is), there's some small news over in Microsoft land.

Actually, its potentially big news: rumor has it that Windows Mobile 7 will demo at long last at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona next month.

After many delays in actually getting this ready enough for just a public demonstration, CNET is reporting that Microsoft is putting the final touches on WinMo 7 so that it can appear on at least a few mobile devices by the end of 2010.

As details are still pretty tight on the Microsoft mobile code (perhaps since developers are so behind on it), it's not clear which phones will be getting this first. It probably won't make it on to whatever the Project Pink device is if that's supposed to debut in the spring.

They better just release this puppy soon, or they're going to lose every smartphone manufacturer to that pesky Google and their Android mobile OS.
