Windows Phone Mango Update is Official, Find out Whats Inside
Along with 500 new features Microsoft serves Windows Phone 7.1 Mango update. Microsoft has added a long list of supported languages to greatly expand the reach of Windows Phone to new countries. The limited language localization offered so far has been cited as one of the reasons for the somewhat poor WP7 track record.
Multitasking is surely the most expected features. It uses a card interface to switch between apps, very similar to what we've seen in WebOS.
Internet Explorer 9 is coming with the Mango update too. It's based on the capable desktop browser. IE9 for Windows Phone 7.1 supports hardware acceleration.
Messaging is done on threads, combining various services - within a single conversation you can switch between SMS, Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger seamlessly. Now that's new. We like innovation like that though the actual implementation by the users will be tricky, that's for sure. Other messaging changes promise you will be able to dictate your messages or have an incoming text read to you.
Twitter and LinkedIn has joined the social networking list of Windows Phone too and Facebook check-in functionality as well as face tagging in photos are built-in. You can pin whole groups of people as live tiles and monitor updates from people in the group or message the whole group right from your Start screen. Live tiles are improved in general - they will display much more info than their v7.0 counterparts.
Bing services have been extended - Bing Vision, Music Search and Voice offer new ways to search the web. A curious new feature, called Quick Cards, will give you instant access to key information whenever you search for a product, place, event or movie.
App connect helps third-party apps integrate into the Hubs of Windows Phone 7.1 to enhance the core experience of the phone. Apps will also be included in search results, making search in Mango much more context aware and hopefully useful. Check out GSMArena blog to see all the news features of Windows Phone 7.1.
