Mary Jo Foley has just been tipped about the first major update to Windows Pone 7 which will supposedly be launched in fall 2011 and will be codemaned Mango. As I said a few days ago the first update which is going to be made available around MWC in February isn’t going to be a game changer contrary to what the rumors wanted you to believe. But Microsoft is definitely working on improving the OS and adding many new features in the coming year. The Mango update will supposedly bring HTML5 support to IE Mobile (I would be surprised if it this one turns out to be true thought…), Asian language support (this has been confirmed by HTC) and in browser silverlight support (which I don’t think is going to happen). According to the same tipster, Windows Phone 8 which is codenamed Apollo is scheduled for a late 2012 launch. The current Windows Phone 7 version we are all using was codenamed Mojo (look closely at my picture here…) . Take all this information with a grain of salt thought..and remember all the totally fake made up info/rumors that were unleashed upon us last year before the Windows Phone 7 announcement.
