Microsoft job listing hints at annual Windows Phone updates

From the looks of it, a job posting on Microsoft’s career site has informally confirmed that Windows Phone is on track to receive “major yearly releases.” The idea of pushing a hefty Mango -sized package of features to its phones once a year shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as both iOS and Android aim for the same goal, but it’s nice to see that the folks in Redmond have a good feel on exactly where the platform is headed. Now, update fans need not be worried about refreshes only coming once a year; the listing asks for someone to head up work on minor amendments in between these releases, which means we should look forward to NoDo -style maintenance updates on a regular basis. Or it could all amount to absolutely nothing. Your move, Ballmer. Your move. Head to the source link for the job listing.
