Now that Microsoft has officially mentioned a major update in the pipeline, we can start up the rumor mills full force.
We’ve discussed the new features that "Mango" will bring to the table; but the timeframe (other than a 6-month window) and official name remain nebulous. A number of media outlets are conjecturing that the Mango release will be significant enough that it could be dubbed Windows Phone 7.5, which would fit with past naming conventions like Windows Mobile 6.5. The speculation is that the update will be something of an interim release between the current iteration of the Windows Phone OS and the alignment between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
Stay tuned here for any updates, we’ll be keeping you posted as news breaks.
