Windows 10 Will Arrive in August, w/ New Devices in Sept.-Oct.

From DailyTech: We already know that Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) will launch its highly anticipated Windows 10 operating system update on July 29. But an unanswered question is when the Windows 10 builds for mobile devices and for the Xbox One will land.

Neowin potentially zeroes in on the answer to one of those outstanding questions,s reporting that Windows 10 devices are likely due in "late September". It cites a slide delivered in a partner presentation by a Microsoft spokesperson. The key item is that the slide (dated from the current quarter, Q2) states: Windows Mobile skus will be available late next quarter.

The slide states that the tweaked and tuned smartphone/phablet Windows 10 build will arrive late in Q3, i.e. sometime in August. That indicates that Microsoft is likely to finalize and ship finished bits to OEMs within a month of the release of the desktop version to consumers.

Neowin states that adding in the lag time between OEMs receiving the finished OS and deploying it to new devices, you're likely looking at a hard launch in September:

According to the slide, seen above, both the enterprise and consumer versions of Windows 10 Mobile, should become available "late next quarter." In regular terms that means a launch at the end of September.
