Windows Phone 7 spotted in the wild

Lurking on LG Panther handset

Microsoft's latest mobile operating system got another public outing today and initial impressions seem to be positive.

Pocket Lint says it got a sneaky peak at the OS which was installed on a Microsoft Exec's prototype LG Panther handset and reports that everything was "working smoothly", although the demo apparently skipped over a few core features including XBox Live integration.

The tech site also waxed lyrical about the software's seamless Facebook integration, one-click access to map locations and Zune media player functions.

On a related note, a Microsoft spokesman confirmed that the Zune Store will be coming to the UK in time for the as-yet unconfirmed launch date.
