It brings in some great new features like multitasking, IE9, fast application switching, maps, web marketplace etc to name a few. I was also impressed with enhancements to bing like local scout, bing vision and bing voice. With the NoDo update fiasco now behind us, I think the expectations are set just right for the \u2018mango\u2019 update which will be coming this fall ;) One thing that annoys me is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewtechhelp.com\/andrews-tech-opinions\/126-windows-phone-7-feature-availability-matrix-the-mango-edition\">feature-market fragmentation that\u2019s happening with Windows Phone<\/a>. What\u2019s the deal with making some features available only to a few markets! Just look at the way zune services and their features are split region-wise. It\u2019s horrible and needs fixing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nothing was mentioned about Microsoft\u2019s ad framework, PubCenter, and its expansion plans. It\u2019s been close to 8 months since windows phone came out and PubCenter has expanded its market by zero, zilch, nada! There were talks a while back that it will be made available in europe, I don\u2019t know how that\u2019s working out. Hey you, make it global already! And show us some pay-per-impression love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can download the Windows Phone Developer Tools 7.1 Beta from here, (web installer) <a title=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/en\/details.aspx?FamilyID=77586864-ab15-40e1-bc38-713a95a56a05&amp;displaylang=en\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/en\/details.aspx?FamilyID=77586864-ab15-40e1-bc38-713a95a56a05&amp;displaylang=en\">http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/en\/details.aspx?FamilyID=77586864-ab15-40e1-bc38-713a95a56a05&amp;displaylang=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if you don\u2019t believe in web installers, here\u2019s the link for downloading the ISO file, <a title=\"http:\/\/download.microsoft.com\/download\/0\/0\/D\/00D22BA8-E716-4272-93D8-C4D98F0567AE\/WPDT_v2_Beta_en1.iso\" href=\"http:\/\/download.microsoft.com\/download\/0\/0\/D\/00D22BA8-E716-4272-93D8-C4D98F0567AE\/WPDT_v2_Beta_en1.iso\">http:\/\/download.microsoft.com\/download\/0\/0\/D\/00D22BA8-E716-4272-93D8-C4D98F0567AE\/WPDT_v2_Beta_en1.iso<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Stebner\u2019s post contains some more links and other useful information, do take a look, <a title=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/astebner\/archive\/2011\/05\/24\/10168008.aspx\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/astebner\/archive\/2011\/05\/24\/10168008.aspx\">http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/astebner\/archive\/2011\/05\/24\/10168008.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And remember to install <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=75568aa6-8107-475d-948a-ef22627e57a5\">Visual Studio 2010 SP1<\/a> first.<\/p>\n<p>You have a good day while I watch the ISO getting sucked from the interwebs at mind-numbing speeds.\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\/s<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Until next time\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The consumer side of Windows Phone Mango was unveiled yesterday by Microsoft.
