A new rumor has surfaced pegging October 11th as the official launch date for Microsoft’s next mobile operating system in Windows Phone 7, with an event in New York City that will be webcast.  While the date does coincide with previous statements regarding an October launch timeframe, this is the first mention of a launch date.  The rumor goes on to state that devices will be launched later in the month after the event.  This also follows previous reports of Windows Phone 7 devices launching later this month ahead of Microsoft’s official launch of the new operating system.
