The Mac has a chance for Windows 7 Series Phone

Windows 7 Series Phone with the Mac is not automatically excluded. Aaron Woodman, one of the leaders of the mobile division of Microsoft responded with "maybe" at a conference organized by Engadget. No warranty is coming from him, but he said that discussions were taking place internally on the question of whether to go beyond support for Windows.

  

 

Microsoft would get by in software on the Mac side. We remember for example that Palm had to make a forcing technique to use iTunes with your Palm Pre (rather than developing its own software client), before throwing in the towel before the obstacles in his way every time Apple.

Aaron Woodman also took the opportunity to get out of his pocket a new model from LG equipped the future OS and features a physical keyboard. Nothing revolutionary in itself, but it is the first model of a Microsoft partner.

Core i7-based MacBook Pro strutting its specs

  
 

According to the results, what you're looking at above are the numbers for the MacBook Pro 6,1, sporting a nastified Intel Core i7 (dual core, not quad) 620M (Arrandale) percolating along at 2.66GHz. Other curious points here are the 4.8GHz FSB, which sounds a little screwy to us, and a final GeekBench score of 5260, which makes current MBPs clocked at the same speed look like your grandfather with a walker (those ranges hover around 3700-4000 on average). The laptop in question is also allegedly running a fresh version of Snow Leopard (build 10C3067 of 10.6.2), which certainly makes sense if someone is out there benching a new Apple product, though it's not a number we can verify.The processor shown is listed as an Intel Core i7 M 620 running at 2.66GHz with Turbo frequency up to 3.33 GHz. The Core i7 M 620 is a high end dual core processor with Turbo Boost and Hyperthreading technology.

If you are in to get a MacBook Pro, hold off from buying one as there is now a high possibility of these new MacBook Pro’s with Core i5 and Core i7 chipsets to hit the retail shelves much sooner than expected. [via Geekbench, MacRumors]
