Microsoft is to ``announce'' revamped phone software
Microsoft Corp is expected to announce a major revamp of its phone software Monday, in an attempt to regain momentum in a crucial market where it has been overshadowed.
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.
