Photon is the codename of the next-generation Windows Mobile Microsoft is working on. Ryan and Peter, these crazy guys from Engadget, were among the few invited to have a sneek peak at the current development version of Photon.

The new OS is still "years" away, but the one thing they would confirm is that they're finally going to unify the Smartphone and Pocket PC platforms, something they were supposedly going to do with Windows Mobile 5.0.

Sure a screenshot or two would have been nice, but for now we are content with the news that Microsoft hasn't given up improving its mobile operation system.
