New Windows Phone 7 features announced, emulator cracked
Microsoft announced new capabilities for Windows Phone 7, including Web-based access to phone data, a "Find My Phone" service, and the ability to connect with Zune software on a PC via Wi-Fi. Separately, hackers have already cracked the emulator released yesterday, allowing the new build of WP7 to be tried out on a desktop PC.
The new functionality in Windows Phone 7 (WP7) is currently being shown off at Microsoft's annual Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) in Washington, D.C, the company says. Phones running the new smartphone OS are "well on track" to be delivered around the world during the upcoming holiday season, the company adds.
Posting on Microsoft's Windows Phone blog, Aaron Woodman, director of the company's Consumer Experiences Product Management team, writes that Windows Phone 7 will initially be available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
