Microsoft to support same IE9 security, privacy features on phone and desktop
Microsoft officials unveiled plans to deliver IE9 Mobile as part of the first “significant” operating system update to Windows Phone 7 in calendar 2011.
Translation: Microsoft will be providing to its partners the “Mango” update (Windows Phone OS 7.X) with an IE 9-based browser this summer, so they can get it to users by fall/holiday 2011.
What does it mean, exactly, that Microsoft will have IE9 on a smartphone? Is this just a slightly updated version of the IE Mobile version that is part of the current generation of Windows Phone 7s (which is actually IE 7 with a few IE 8 features added)?
