28 December, 2011
The Apollo update promises Superphones - perhaps ones with multi-core CPUs and better screens?

    logical opinion, 28 Dec 2011why did they reveal this roadmap? even if i'm a risk tak... moreYou are funding experiments buying Android. You are funding development of new versions that will never be available to you as the sponsor. I was such sponsor and tell you what - never again.

      i really like the way WP7 phones perform coz they're too fast! not that laggy when you scroll and browse the phone's contents. the only issue is that they're only stuck with a non-expandable memory. if only they have at least a minimum of 16GB in memory though its non-expandable, at least its worth every penny that its fans spend. iOS is non-expandable as well however, 16GB is their least memory out in the market. i wanna try a WP7 device but i also look for the value that i'll be getting in spending. if WP7 releases a device with a 32GB memory maybe i'll try it. for now, i'll stay with RIM and iOS.

        BKP, 29 Dec 2011need for games. high CPU intensive games won't play nicely ... moreGames don't need dual-core cpu's at all... I don't understand why people keep saying this... Games run on GPU's!!

                What about basic featues, that everybody expect WP has? Too bad Nokia choosed the worst system on market for their phones.

                  RJ, 28 Dec 2011I dont know why ppl these days are fixated over no of cores... moreI agree, an 800mhz processor with 512mb ram is fast enough

                    I think microsoft and nokia are taking their own time and not jumping in wagon of out smarting their competiter and multi cores are needed cause gap between laptop and mobile are going to shrink in coming times so all the best to both company

                      I wonder if the present crop of WP phones will be capable of running WP8 OS, and if MS will update all phones to WP8.

                            For those who bought Nokia phones with 7.5 Mango. Will theirs phones be upgraded with these new versions of MS WP?

                                and i think they're referring to quad-cores as "super-phones" :P

                                    Yep, no need for more cores and for more battery drain when the OS has no use for them.

                                    I just want to see some more models with hardware keyboards..

                                    There was the HTC Arrive about 15-16 months ago... I can't recall any others.

                                        Fruitcake, 28 Dec 2011Microsoft acting like its new partners Nokia,Everything to ... morethe roadmap seems very respectable, the OS is still developing and they're focusing on making more affordable phones with lower specs to increase market share before they make the more OS more powerful to support th multicore chips, which most likely won't be made widely available until the autumn.
