It is long overdued. However, for users like me, we will have to wait until Fall this year to get the goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the highlights on the new WP7 OS.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Application multitasking for background processing, audio and file transfer, and fast application switching<\/li>\n<li>Deeper phone integration so apps can, for example, take better advantage of the versatility of Live Tiles<\/li>\n<li>Access to the camera and Motion Sensor library so developers can build apps that incorporate device hardware and build augmented reality experiences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than this, a few apps concept were shown in MIX11. They are Skype, Spotify, Layar, Qantas, Amazon Shopping and Kik Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that is right. Skype is coming to Windows Phone 7.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/skype-wp7.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18599\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/14\/windows-phone-7-to-get-multi-task-skype-and-more\/skype-wp7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/skype-wp7.jpg?fit=540%2C361&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"540,361\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"skype-wp7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/skype-wp7.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/skype-wp7.jpg?fit=540%2C361&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18599 aligncenter\" title=\"skype-wp7\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/skype-wp7.jpg?resize=540%2C314\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/Presspass\/press\/2011\/apr11\/04-13MIX2PR.mspx\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read from Microsoft on WP 7 Development<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Looks like WP7 future is looking bright but I hope it could be faster&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2011\/04\/13\/windows-phone-adds-multitasking-deep-phone-integration-and-sen\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has to be one of the great news we heard on Windows Phone 7.
