Those of you that are curious about what direction Microsoft Windows Phone in terms of their mobile operating system is headed will appreciate this slide. Windows Phone Mango was released in Q4 2011 with new features, new languages, and new countries. The next major update will be “Tango,” which will be released in Q2 2012 and it will feature products with the best prices, but not that many new features. However when the “Apollo” update in Q4 2012 is released, we will see high-end super phones likely with dual core processors and HD screens. [wmpoweruser]
