Microsoft has served up a well stuffed platter o’facts about the forthcoming major update to its mobile OS, with the upcoming Windows Phone 7.1 update set to regale under the name ‘Mango.’

There’s dedication and then there’s Roy Castle-style dedication, and it certainly must have taken some heroic gumption to sit down and create a 9.5 minute video showing every install of Microsoft Windows from version 1.0 right through to the latest Windows 7.
That roaring sound you’re hearing is the noise of a jet assisted Android rocketing past iPhones and Blackberry handsets as the Google OS becomes the top selling operating system in US smartphones.
After months of leaks, RIM has officially announced their all new BlackBerry 6 operating system.
The new mobile OS serves up a host of updates, a ”visual, fluid interface’ and a monstrously overdue decent web browser in the shape of a WebKit-based number, packing support for HTML5.
The Blackberry-producing gang at RIM seems hell bent on teasing us with fleeting glimpses of their upcoming BlackBerry 6 OS, as a second promo video slips out of dock.
It seems that consumers and businesses have got over the sour taste left behind by the catastrophe that was the Windows Vista operating system, with its acclaimed Windows 7 follow-up quickly becoming the company’s fastest-selling operating system, selling a staggering 150 million licenses since its launch last October.
Research In Motion (RIM) – makers of the Blackberry line of handsets – broke a company record yesterday as it shipped no less than 11.2 million BlackBerries in the last quarter – adding up to a 43 percent increase over the sales for the same period last year.
Man, those cats at Blackberry are laying down a heavy urban vibe, with their new all-dancing video showing that the company is no longer all about corporate suits, swivelling chairs, offices and appointments.
To prove that their new OS is funkier than an iPhone in a catsuit and rollerblades, Blackberry’s new promo video grooves along to an autotune-powered ‘Boom Boom Pow’ soundtrack from the Black Eyed Peas.
