Microsoft Unveils Tango Windows Phone Update
Microsoft started talking about Tango, the next update to the Windows Phone OS
At the Mobile World Congress show Microsoft has finally unveiled some details regarding the next update to the Windows Phone operating system, known around the Web as Tango. It looks like Tango is going to all Windows Phone users. The Nokia Lumia 610 will be the new low end model running the updated OS and will offer Live Tiles, People Hub, IE9 and access to more than 95% of the apps in the Marketplace.
Here’s what the Softies did say about the OS update that shall not be named:
- Microsoft is positioning Tango as an update to Mango, not as an entirely new operating system release. Tango is due out in April 2012.
- It seems that every Windows Phone — including existing WP 7.x handsets with more on-board memory and more powerful processors — will have the Tango update pushed to them.
- The Tango update will be preloaded on the just-announced Nokia Lumia 610 and the ZTE Orbit, which are both due out in “the second quarter of 2012.”.
