WP Tango bringing in important fragmentation and spec changes

Windows Phone Tango is coming soon, but it’s getting a mixed bag of improvements / disappointments, along with it. Let’s hear the bad news first. Russian site, WP7forum did some in-depth trialing on a developer phone and they’ve unearthed some important, new things. As reported by GSMArena, first up all upcoming Tango phones will have to do with just 256 MB of RAM, as opposed to 512 MB of RAM that was present in the earlier devices. What this means is that your next Windows Phone might just have 256 MB of RAM, and if you’re having an Android phone, you’re mostly ‘upgrading’ your phone from 512 MB or 1GB of RAM to 256 MB of RAM. Upgrading doesn’t sound that good now, eh? However, it’s important to note that this will also bring down the cost of the phone, so while your specs might not be top notch, your pricing will most probably go easy on the wallet. Second, because of the low RAM, naturally your phone won’t support the more heavy duty apps and also, if you’re having third party Live tiles then you’ll have to manually keep updating them, as there won’t be an auto-update feature. That’s quite a bummer, honestly. Click here for full story
