It is hardly a new product or software released, will the focus turn to  what is next, or what the future holds for the phone us.Windows Mango  7.5 was released just a matter of weeks, and already a demand Nokia has  appeared to reveal the date of release of information of his successor -  code-named Apollo Windows Phone. Michael Halbherr, executive vice  president for the location and Trade, said it will launch sometime  between the end of Q2 and the start of Q3.
Besides jet version  information also more intriguing, said that Apollo will be a "very  different game" compared to the release of Mango, suggesting that the  release would make the giant leap for Windows Phone 8 with all the bells  and whistles - rather than a mere implementation of the factory to  upgrade.
Surely a statement announcing 8 months in advance can  only mean big things are pending. Not much has been discovered of  Apollo, but revealed he is working Halbherr to persuade Microsoft to  incorporate Near Field Communication (NFC) and what he described as a  "placemarks" for Windows Phone that supports better Nokia Navteq mapping  platform. With Nokia drop Symbian operating system that were once  popular for the smartphone platform from Microsoft, it seems as if the  Finnish company will enjoy a certain element of bias with respect to  future releases of Windows Phone. If Nokia is able to regain the  popularity of its devices 10 years ago, and Windows Phone 8 offers some  of the progress shown by the Redmond-based company, then the coalition  of Nokia Windows may cause problems in very Android / iOS dominated the  market.
With iOS 5 only just released, Google Ice Cream  Sandwich scheduled for a long-awaited launch in November, Steve Ballmer  and his friends have a lot of catching up. Microsoft has won a lot of  positive PR after allowing PC users to test an early Alpha operating  system Windows 8, as well as showing new features set to erode the line  of differentiation between smartphone consoles, desktop and games.
If,  as predicted, Apollo lands half of 2012, follow the benchmark set by  the handle for the release earlier than market expectations - a risky  strategy that anyone could see Microsoft pose a real threat, both Apple  and Google, or fall completely on the road.
