WP7 Mango Released to Manufacturers

Microsoft today announced that Windows Phone 7 mango has reached a major milestone: the code has been finalized and handed over to cell phone manufacturers. The release to manufacturer — or RTM — stage means that hardware companies such as HTC, LG, and Samsung, and network operators such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless can use the code to optimize their respective hardware and services before rolling them out later this year. Microsoft said that it is now working on how the update will be rolled out to existing WP7 handsets. Mango is still on track for release this fall.

With Zune being integrated into XBOX live, and microsoft saying that there will be one operating system to rule them all, I think zune integration is close.
