“Over 500” New Features In WP7 Update?
According to a speech delivered by Steve Ballmer in Japan, he went on to reveal that in the Mango update of their Windows Phone 7 operating system will feature over 500 new features which seems like a load of new features if you ask me. There have also been rumors that tomorrow will reveal 9 new Windows Phone 7 devices as well. The manufacturers that will be part of the unveiling are HTC, Samsung, Dell and Acer, if those rumors are to be trusted.
Windows Phone 7 has not taken off quite like Microsoft had intended, with Android and iOS being leaps and bounds ahead of it but perhaps with the Mango update to their operating system this could change things, especially with the unveiling of apparently 9 new WP7 devices. It’s strange that there has been no mention of the said devices until today, a day before the launch and announcement which could mean that either Microsoft is really, really good at keeping their secrets much like Apple, or it could turn out that the rumors are false and we will be disappointed.
However check back tomorrow and if those rumors are true we will have 9 new WP7 devices for you to check out!
The Dell Venue Pro comes has one advantage this time around, where it is on the receiving end of the Windows Phone Tango update. After all, this is not exactly the newest smartphone around, and to see the hardware still being supported is definitely worth a look. The Venue Pro is nearly a couple of years in age, and has the virtue of being one of the first Windows Phone powered devices to arrive at the market, so to see it being supported by the latest updates is always an encouraging sight.
To date, it was revealed that only one user in Germany was on the receiving end of this update on his handset, although others should follow suit pretty soon. Do bear in mind that this is not the Windows Phone 7.8 update which was promised to current Windows Phone 7.5-powered devices, and there is no certainty that this particular device will receive the update as well. Still, to see Dell extend such support is always worth mulling over.
Some leaked documents have found their way over to our friends over at Neowin (via MyBroadband) and it indicates that Dell’s first tablet will be called the Latitude 10. The documents show that the Latitude 10 will have a 10.1-inch screen and it will be running Windows 8. Besides that, the display will apparently have a resolution of 1366 x 768 and the whole setup will be powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor that is said to be based on the Clover Trail platform.

If you are an avid fan of Dell smartphones and you also live in U.S, we regrettably inform you that you will not be able to purchase a Dell smartphone in the land of the free anymore because the company has allegedly stopped their sales of smartphones in the U.S. From online reports, it seems that the company has decided to reinvent their mobile strategy in order to concentrate on higher margin profits and upcoming markets.
