Mango, The new version Windows Phone 7

Development, General, Technology | 4:25 pm

The new version of Windows Phone 7, codename “Mango” looks interesting. Anticipated for release later this year and to be included on new Nokia devices as well a free upgrade for existing Windows Phone 7 devices, the OS sees some really intriguing features:

  • Message threading across a number of platforms – for instance start a conversation with contact across SMS, continue on Facebook and see the thread in one place on your phone!
  • Deeper social network integration with The People Hub integrated with Twitter and Linked in
  • Dynamic tile widgets for real-time information e.g. flight times without having to open a dedicated app
  • Location and context aware search and results. This is really exciting and yet again highlights how important context aware searching is in the mobile arena.

It’s also great to see that the developer Mango beta tools have been launched today (May 25th 2011), giving developers plenty of time to play about with the over 500 new features!
