- An update on Mango, expected to offer better browsing and improved tools for developers. Part of that improved browsing experience will be due to Internet Explorer 9, which will offer HTML 5 support and hardware acceleration.
- Multitasking: This will help bring Windows Phone 7 on par with competing operating systems. More importantly, this ends up being a speed improvement. No more waiting for apps to load when switching. Mango will introduce “fast app switching”.
- Expanded access for developers to camera and motion sensors.
They are expected to showcase a number of apps, including Plants vs Zombies. All in all, it should be a good day for developers. It will be interesting to see if they discuss the still MIA (testing) NoDo update for AT&T phones. More importantly, steps being taken to avoid this from happening when Mango hits. Making users wait for copy and paste is one thing. Mango is a major update, so the heartache will be greater if the delays are anything like what has been experienced with NoDo.
