Oh, those crazy gadget bloggers are at it again, proving that there's no such thing as a secret in the tech industry anymore -- at least not when a company isn't more careful about keeping its signs covered up.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer won't be taking the stage at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for another half-hour, but photos posted over the weekend revealed elements of what he'll be unveiling, including a next-generation phone interface that was uncovered when a worker decided to adjust a sign.
See the full gallery from learnbemobile.com, presumed to be a Windows Mobile 7 interface.
Earlier in the weekend, Engadget used its Photoshop skills to uncover the phrase "7 Series" hidden beneath the words "Windows Phone" on another Microsoft sign, raising new speculation about the possibility of multiple varieties of Windows Phones, possibly targeted separately to consumers and businesses.
Microsoft's Ballmer takes the stage at 6 a.m. Pacific time today. Live webcast available here.
