New Features Making Their Way Via The WP7 Mango Update

No doubt Windows Phone 7 is behind the competition when it comes to sales numbers and features, but Microsoft are trying hard to bridge the gap with the upcoming Mango update, and it might just happen if these unannounced features are real.

We have seen many things that the Mango update is capable of, the main feature is multiasking along with a host of other new stuff to surely put Windows Phone 7 up there with other competing platforms such as Android and iOS. MIX 2011 saw Microsoft showing off Mango to developers, but it seems a few new features were not important enough to be mentioned at the event. What we are hearing is that Mango could bring an updated version of Bing, this version would allow users to find music and barcodes, send speech to text SMS, and provide turn by turn navigation.

These new services are called, Bing Vision, Bing Audio, and Voice, the buttons can be reached from Bing Search homepage. Now we just can’t wait to see the Mango update rolling out, September can’t come fast enough.
