Microsoft launches update of phone software
Microsoft Corp launched an update of its Windows phone software on Tuesday, hoping a host of new features will help it close the gap on smartphone leaders Google Inc and Apple Inc. The updated software, code-named Mango, will appear on new Windows phones beginning this autumn, and be available for existing Windows phone users before that, although Microsoft has not set a timetable for making the update available.
Six months after taking the first step into the phone market with the launch of its new Windows software for phones, the software giant Microsoft took a giant leap into the phone market by launching two new phones.
