Yeah, Windows Mobile (aka Windows CE) is dead. Now, you're asking Vista Pro (aka Win 7) for mobile phone? :)

Windows CE is used in tons of systems from ATMs to Point of Sale terminals, and Windows Mobile market share is actually increasing globally, so I'm not sure where you are getting the 'dead' from. I also believe Rudolphe is also referring to Windows Mobile 7 rather than Windows 7.
The distressing news is that at the Möbius conference, Windows 7 does not appear to have the kind of intergration with Windows Mobile 7 which you would expect. At least that's what's being twittered. There is also no word on the UI of Windows Mobile 7 which is, for better or worse, what most people fixate on.

@Crayon: Microsofts next (after 6.5) mobile OS will be Microsoft Mobile 7.

Based on latest data, Apple OS X and Blackberry OS grew impressively while Symbian and Windows Mobile on the decline worldwide..

I'd be willing to bet money that within 2 years from today Android will replace windows mobile as the major Smartphone OS on US (and probably world wide) phones.

I think you are forgetting that Nokia is taking Symbian to open-source land and that most North American carriers have chosen to stand behind LTE for 4G services. With most carriers under one 4G standard the barriers will be lower for Nokia and Samsung to bring their top phones to NA carriers.
