Windows Phone 7.1 Mango Webcast: The Crib Notes
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Windows Phone Events" @ 10:29 AM
I was eager to watch the Windows Phone 7.1 (Mango) Webcast, and I figured taking point-form notes would be a great way to share with all of you what Microsoft presented. Here we go:
- Seven months ago, Windows Phone was launched
- Everything is people centric on Windows Phone; Mango ups the ante
- Twitter and LinkedIn now added into the mix
- They added photo albums via a pivot on the person
- Call History is sorted by person, including visual voicemails
- Groups: you can mirror your real-life relationships on the phone. This feature looks killer! It filters all your social networks just for those people, including photos that are tagged with those people. Group email, group texts - Microsoft didn't want to take a proprietary approach like Blackberry Messenger; they used Windows Live and Facebook Chat instead.
