As seen with the Zune, Microsoft remains on the heels of Apple innovation, though always a bit too late. This newly released patent reveals Microsoft’s go at developing a touchscreen interface for mobile devices.

The patent titled “Extensible Filtered Lists for Mobile Device User Interface,” seems to focus on better organization for the mobile interface by dividing functions into a list format. These customizable lists would allow users to easier access the information or application that they want to use. Could this be a new Windows Mobile Touch edition? — Andrew Dobrow
