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.

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

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