Microsoft's RoadMap Leaked; Tango, Apollo To Follow Mango
Microsoft Windows Leaked RoadMap points to at least two other significant updates coming for the smartphone operating system market in the coming year. After Mango released for almost all devices, we will be seeing the release of Tango around Q2 2012 and Apollo sometime during Q4 2012. Microsoft aims to build on the solid foundations of Mango, with the upcoming releases in 2012. While Tango is aimed at low-end affordable devices, Apollo packs enough features for the high-end, enterprise sector smartphones. The leaked roadmap  is said to be "up to date as of October 2011," which means that this might be subject to minor change.
Microsoft started the distribution of Windows 7.5 Operating System codenamed Mango with an effort to deliver the update "to 100 percent of eligible phones around the world." With Tango, Microsoft builds focus and targets only a certain section of smartphones, better suited for handsets with HVGA support.

Microsoft will follow the release of Tango with Apollo, which would mark its entry into a competitive zone, contending against the likes of Android and iOS. Microsoft is making sure that Apollo is well prepared for the challenge. Sources believe that Apollo will bring support for HD screen with 1280 x 720 resolutions. Nokia VP Michael Halbherr had previously divulged that Apollo would land in mid-2012 and include NFC support.
While rumors cite that that Microsoft's upcoming operating system will have 10MP of camera, dual core processors and LTE support, Andy Lees, president of the Microsoft Corporation involved in the development of Windows Phone and Windows 8, has only confirmed the use of LTE support to get a competitive edge on the market.
