IE9 code for Windows Phone 7 complete, adds landscape address bar

Ballmer didn’t get specific when he said the Windows Phone Mango update would bring 500 new features , but we’d bet our blue screens that a handful of these additions are wrapped up in IE9. As well as the long awaited landscape mode address bar, IE9 for Windows Phone promises to reinforce performance through GPU acceleration and a far better rendering experience. The browser update boasts a litany of support features: the aforementioned GPU-accelerated browsing, full-screen video through HTML5 (though not embedded, sorry!), GPS-based geolocation, ECMAScript 5, 2D CSS3, etc. We must always know a full heap of much more come tomorrow morning, so you should follow along during our liveblog here.
