Slow news day here…anyway, if you have been using the Mango Beta 2 Dev build and wondering what’s up with the People Twitter integration the you should be happy to know that it’s finally working. But there’s a catch: It only works in a newer build of the OS which may or may not be pushed to developer unlocked devices by Microsoft.

Speaking of beta updates, it would be interesting to know if Microsoft plans on pushing out one or more before the official roll out of Mango later this fall. As of right now most of the features seem to work without any problem besides Bing Vision which can hang or stop auto-focusing and some weird device re-boots. My only wish is that something is done to the poor UX offered by IE 9 Mobile.
