In a report published today, it appears that Microsoft Windows Phone 7 smartphones are tracking and sending location data to online servers without the user’s consent.
Microsoft has finally laid the rumors and speculation to rest in a blog post, which states that its Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) update will be dropping within the next couple of weeks.
Since the announcement and subsequent commencement of Microsoft's BUILD Keynote conference, the Redmond-based company has been in the news on an hourly basis. The Windows 8 demonstrations have gone down a real treat, backed-up with by the fact that half a million users flocked to download early Alpha previews of the company's latest dose of OS innovation.
Rumors of WhatsApp, which is a popular cross-messaging app for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Symbian stirred up some news just a day or two ago that it would be ported to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 platform, but now a couple of screenies have emerged showing WhatsApp through Windows Phone’s Metro lens.
Ever since Windows Phone 7.5 was finalized back in July, we've all been wondering when the system would finally find its way onto consumer smartphones in an official capacity. According to a new report, that might be just a few days away, on September 15th.
Two couple of months ago, Microsoft announced that the next version of Windows Phone, codenamed 'Mango', had been finalized, yet no devices running earlier versions of the system have officially obtained 'Mango'. Thankfully, official HTC ROMs have been leaked and made their way onto the Internet, enabling users of the HTC HD7 to run 'Mango' right now, one day after a similar ROM file was leaked for the HTC 7 Mozart.
Since late last year, Windows Phone 7 has captured the minds of many users, both for its attractive looks and deep integration with Microsoft's services. Yet, many might still be using services outside Microsoft's umbrella, such as Google Talk. If you've been struggling for a way to use Google's instant messaging service on your new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango device, Gchat is the perfect app for you.
Over the last few months, many have been waiting for a smartphone running 'Mango', the new version of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, which was allegedly finalized back in July. Thankfully, HTC has stepped up to the plate and introduced two Windows Phone 7.5 Mango smartphones: the HTC Radar and the HTC Titan.
Windows Phone Mango has been finalized and is all ready to be implemented by smartphone manufacturers on new devices. Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile is the first manufacturer to step up to the plate by launching the first ever Mango-powered smartphone to Japanese customers, and perhaps soon in other countries all across the world.
With Mango already completed and a few months away from landing on smartphones later this year, Microsoft has already unveiled plans for two releases in the future for Windows Phone, codenamed Tango and Apollo.
