While they are going to want to work out the product name trademark with recognizr; this looks to be something that is both cool (and creepy).
Using the camera, your smartphone can focus on a person's face and automatically display all of the social networking sites that they are a member of. You can then drag/drop the networks that you would like to communicate with the person on, and associate these with the person's profile.

And, Yes, all of the third-party companies who have printed brochures; help files; web-site text or logos that describe their Microsoft compatible applications as "Windows Mobile"-based will be paying ... again ... to change the text to "WP7S".
If the third party has been in business long enough, they might have also enjoyed repackaging their products along with the following Microsoft platform name changes:
2010: Windows Phone 7 Series. 2009: Windows Phones. 2007: Windows Mobile in Professional, Standard, and Classic editions. 2003: Windows Mobile in (Can you stand it?) Pocket PC Premium, Pocket PC Professional; Pocket PC Phone and Smartphone ...
