The confirmation is still not clear when the Mango update for the Windows Phone 7 will hit the market officially. There are various first-generation Windows Phone hardware, but Microsoft is at least telling developers that Microsoft will take Windows phone mango appS in august for approval, signifying that the software update for the platform will be in the market soon.
With Windows Phone Mango, apps that have been coded for the most recent prototypes of Microsoft’s mobile O.S. can take advantage of Windows Phone’s new features, such as quick resume, hardware accelerated IE9 features for the browser and also multitasking. Microsoft has lately created an online developer portal called as App Hub, to reach out to developers to create apps for Windows which will be opened to receive submissions with the begin of next month. In Windows Phone team blog post, it is written that, “We’re just about a month away from enabling developers to begin submitting Mango apps to App Hub. Developers will need to use the Windows Phone Release Candidate (RC) tools that we expect to make available in late August to finalize their Mango apps and submit to App Hub.”
Microsoft is also about to announce that it is expanding its developer reach to 7 new markets. So now the developers will also be benefited in that 19 new consumer markets which will be added, which means that the reach of the apps will reach even more customers on a global level.
At the same time as original Windows Phone apps will carry on to work once customers will either purchase a Mango phone or update their current hardware to Mango. As all the new features facilitated by Mango will require apps to be updated for those features to be supported.
Microsoft had really displayed much new second-generation hardware to hold up Windows Phone 7. The company has given no commitments to a launch period for those hardware, just mentioned that they will be available for the holiday shopping season in time. Adding up the phones made by LG, Samsung, and HTC, there will be some greenhorns too in market such as ZTE, Nokia, and Fujitsu. It is far and wide believed that Fujitsu will deliver the first handset to operate on the Windows Phone Mango platform.
