Today’s update Mango Beta 2 emulator finally confirms that the updated mobile OS will include support for front facing cameras as long as the OEM decides to include one. This should come as a surprise to those of you who have attended MIX11 or watch the online webcast as this was hinted at in of the Q&A. When asked about Front-facing camera support the Microsoft employee said that he couldn’t comment but added that nothing prevented OEMs from adding them on their upcoming devices.
