The Microsoft Menlo project, which is a 4.1″ capacitive touchscreen prototype, was recently spotted running on what could very well be Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2.
“Microsoft apparently has no intention of letting its failure with Kin keep it out of the smartphone market.
The tech giant is working on a touch-screen phone under the codename “Menlo,” according to a Microsoft Research paper titled “User Experiences with Activity-Based Navigation on Mobile Devices,” (PDF) about Menlo. From that paper:
“Menlo is a prototype mobile device with a capacitive touch screen (4.1″ diagonal, 800×480) running Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 which incorporates a Bosch BMA150 3-axis accelerometer and Bosch BMP085 digital pressure sensor (barometer).”
