While Windows 8 may be the next big thing for computers and tablets, mobile users are starting to anticipate the next Windows Phone update, which should be coming this spring.  The update is code named “Tango” and doesn’t seem to have any version number attached to it like the last update, version 7.5 “Mango”, did.  However, now some people may begin to look even further ahead to the Window Phone update that is currently scheduled, according to a leaked roadmap, for Q4 of 2012.  That update, code named “Apollo”, will signify the move into Windows Phone 8.

Today the mobile web site PocketNow reported that they obtained access to a video from Microsoft Windows Phone Manager Joe Belfiore which had been intended for their Windows Phone partner, Nokia.  According to what they saw in the video, Windows Phone 8 will support four different screen resolutions, multi-core processors, and removable microSD cards.

There is apparently also talk of NFC support, an improved syncing interface, DataSmart data management, BitLocker, and integrated Skype.  Microsoft, aaccording to PocketNow, also hope to have 100,000 apps in their Marketplace by the time Windows Phone Apollo launches.  There was a lot more included in the original article, so if you want details then head over to PocketNow.
