Windows Phone 7 to Receive Updates Straight From Microsoft – OTA or Zune
Jonne Eilimö | April 27, 2010 11:28 UTC | 1 comment |
Microsoft will push firmware updates to Windows Phone 7, without them ever passing a carrier’s or a manufacturer’s testing. Smaller updates will be pushed as OTA(Over-The-Air) updates over 3G or WiFi, while bigger ones will be distributed via the Zune Software.
This is very good for the end user, since there will be no lag between the update release and when it will be available via your own carrier.
