An HTC source said that new devices would be the first that will allow manufacturers to claim the platform now, this will offer a real competition to the rivals in the market i.e. Google’s Android OS and Apple’s iOS. A range of new markets are supposed to be targeted by the Microsoft where Apple and Google has not yet dominated and this will be coming in new languages as well.
Before it was announced, the analysts were very skeptical about the update. Tony Cripps, analyst at Ovum said: “Mango will provide a worthwhile upgrade for both existing and new users of Windows Phone devices once it arrives in the autumn. However, Microsoft needs to do better if it is to persuade the market that it has the most user friendly – and desirable – mobile platform in the market today.”
He noted “the new manufacturers can be expected to take advantage of the more achievable hardware specs now being touted by Microsoft – plus carriers’ desire for low cost alternatives to Android smartphones. That said, Mango still lacks the potential for customization and brand differentiation that some manufacturers are looking for.”
