We have to say from the outset that while Microsoft and Nokia have penned an agreement to make Windows Phone OS the platform of choice on Nokia Windows Phone devices, it 's not been announced yet when the first devices will officially ship. However, with Microsoft offering a host of new features in the next major update we thought it worth checking them out. Check out our Nokia Windows Phone roundup 1: Multitasking: This looks like being a big one, as it allows for the fast switching of applications, as well as allowing for functions to run in the background, such as file transfer and music player. 2: Live Tiles: Live Agents will run in the background and deliver real-time updates, such as Push Notifications and Deep Linking, which all sounds very important. 3: Better phone integration: Microsoft is claiming this has been greatly improved, giving developers greater flexibility to do more with their apps via Live Tiles. 4: Better Camera functionality: Microsoft is allowing developers access to the camera stack, which means Nokia will easily be able to add it 's camera top-tech without having to 5: Better Motion Sensor library: Developers will be able to develop apps and games that take into not only the camera but also the gyroscopic and compass, so we should see a host of augmented reality games appearing. 6: Internet Explorer 9: This will deliver a faster and cleaner browsing experience than ever before on Windows Phone OS. 7: HTML 5: This will allow for faster rendering of webpages and make life a whole lot smoother for developers and end users alike. 8: Windows Phone Marketplace: Microsoft are looking to make changes with a dedicated games Marketplace, better parental controls and even a new beta distribution service. 9: Angry Birds: Is coming to Windows Phone and will be available at the Windows Phone Marketplace beginning on May 25, 2011. 10: Skype: Another app that has been missing from the line-up will also be coming later this year. By the time the first Nokia Windows Phone rolls of the production line most of these will be fully integrated into the OS. In the meantime let us know what you think about the changes Microsoft have planned for the operating system.
