here. All this could essentially mean that this platform update is almost ready, and nearing release. So much so that Redmond is confident that partners can now be informed of what this new version brings. Estimated release date is set sometime between the August and September. But as this report notes, some hardware vendors are already testing it out on new phones, which might mean that Microsoft has already passed it on to hardware partners to test this new version. Details on what Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 bring to the table are included in the link above, and these follow the rumors this update will allows support for creation of folders natively on the Start Screen, simply by dragging and dropping Live Tiles over one another. Chances are that features will be detailed in the coming weeks.]]>
Sounds like a bigger than average update. What evidence is there that we will get this in August or September? Has this been documented before, or is this simply based on this report? I hope we do get it that soon, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
