More and more rumors are circling around the Internets about WM7 and the “Pink” smartphone project. According to CNET’s Mary Jo Foley, to her understanding, the “Pink” smart phone is now to be Microsoft-branded, running a customized UI on top of the WM7 platform. It will be developed by the Danger team and targeted towards the Sidekick market. The UI will be proprietary and not available to 3rd parties to use. The hardware is expected to be manufactured by either Sharp or Motorola. Both of which have made Sidekicks in the past. Other sources say that the new phone may be introduced sometime this fall!

I’m pretty excited to see what Microsoft has up its sleeves. Hopefully they can deliver to the degree that Apple and Palm have with their signature devices. Something tells me this phone will be insane.
