Windows Phone 7 will get a Mango update this year
SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft's updated version of Windows Phone 7 (WP7) called Mango will bring more features including navigation and dictation.
These features are already available on Android and Iphone handsets, so Microsoft is playing catch-up with its mobile operating system.
The next update for handsets with the WP7 operating system will also feature an improved version of Bing.
It will upgrade Bing Maps to include turn by turn directed navigation for driving and, using Microsoft's Tellme, will let users verbally dictate a text message or email using the phone's microphone.
Bing Audio will be much like the popular Shazam app, will capable of recognising songs and likely will be linked to the Zune marketplace. Bing Vision will use the phone's camera to scan and detect barcodes, QR codes and the like using optical character recognition.
This update for WP7 phones is expected later this year, if Microsoft sticks to its schedule. Previous updates have come with problems and more recently the WP7 marketplace was down for several hours. µ

Give me Mango so that I can do the Tango. More features, more EVERYTHING! This is the only Operating System (O/S) available that will let the user install the internet onto a phone so the users can browse the web and point and click and cut and paste and multitask and all of the things that so DIFFICULT if not IMPOSSIBLE to do with any other O/S.
Give my my Mango LoseDoze!
Unfortunately, how can one say that Windows Phone is better than the competion, when you CAN'T SEE YOUR DAMN FILES ON THE PHONE???
When Mango comes out Wp7 will be more refined than your precious IOS and Android. Also the OS is integrating 1500 new APIS. So a lot of things that cannot be done right now, will be availible to the programers.

Chris, what's with the title?? When Mango comes out, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but windows phone will have MORE features than yes your beloved iphone and yes android.
Better multitasking, a killer browser in ie9 (definitely better than the competition), unlimited music with zune pass, built in SQL server for developers, all the new bing services, etc, etc, etc..
So when windows phone starts to grow at a fast rate, and I predict that will start at the end of this year or early next, what are you guys going to say then to criticize????
I can't wait for Mango, Thank You Microsoft for working on such an incredible update!!!!
