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 Integratio...
