Microsoft: Windows Phone Tango can be minor update, is supposed for low-end handsets

It looks as if we have now our Windows Phone roadmap filled out for a minimum of the subsequent year, as Tango have been confirmed by Microsoft as next year’s minor update preceding Apollo (aka Windows Phone 8). As mentioned at a MSDN seminar in Hong Kong, the successor to Windows Phone Mango will indeed be made for handsets in developing countries — a key solution to make these devices cheaper. These targeted nations was neglected to date, the corporate said, and the Tango update would bring more Bing services to them at a lower price. Will this type of move help Ballmer & Co. achieve greater market share against Apple and Google? It’s hard to inform — we certainly don’t see this update coming to Vertu anytime soon, so we imagine that’s probably a very good sign.
