Windows Phone 7 is on the move.
It looks like Windows is finally throwing a lot of resources to the smartphone market. They were slow with the Zune, now dead, and with the smartphone market booming, Windows finds itself laps behind the iPhone and Android. They’re going to have to make up a lot of distance in a short period of time, if they hope to be a major competitor.
Perhaps this explains the jump from the mobile version IE7, straight to IE9:
IE9 Mobile is expected to be released late this year, as part of the Windows Phone 7 ‘Mango’ update. Mango is rumored to be a large enough bump to the smartphone lineup that it will prompt a number change to Windows Phone 7.5.
Want to see IE9 Mobile?
