The WP7 “Mango” update has been released and many have had the opportunity to update so far. I have been playing with it for a few days and am quite impressed with this update.
Most notable:
- Speech to Text/Voice control – You can control nearly everything in Mango using your voice. My favorite is the speech to text which does an incredible job dictating what you say. This is built right in, no need for a 3rd party app for that.
- Social Integration- Whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., it’s all connected in Mango. They have also introduced Groups that can be pinned to the Start screen so you can keep track of certain groups of people like family, friends, etc.
- SkyDrive Integration – SkyDrive is now integrated and you sync your Office docs with it now. This is perfect as you can view and edit Office documents on your WP7 Phone now.
There’s lots more, and you can see the full list of highlights here.
