Details about an forthcoming Windows 7 Phone LG handset has appeared, with a tantalizing hint that the LG E700 could be the first handset to be released with Mango software update on board.
Microsoft week involving two conferences, with leaders such as detailed plans for the cloud and products like Windows 7 Phone.
You wait all year for a Windows 7 Phone hardware leak, and then two come along at once.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, speaking April 11 at Convergence Conference in Atlanta, he repeated the company's focus on the cloud.
But we complain, given that LG E700 offers some more interesting information than HTC Maza we saw earlier in the day, including the possibility of a summer release.
Make no mistake, when it comes to the cloud, Microsoft's all in, he told the audience.
This leak does not come with some nice sharp images, but it does offer a few lines of code taken from a GSM hand, offers a few revelations.
All of our products will be designed to deliver the full benefits of the cloud.
What's in a name? The first is the product name listed as the LG E700, but we are hoping for a snazzy Optimus style name for the retail release.
The company's most recent work includes the cloud drop the next versions of ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications on Windows Azure platform.
Next up is the screen set to 480x800 - not exactly big news, given that there is a standard Windows 7 Phone WVGA-specification.
At the conference, Microsoft also provided a glimpse of Microsoft Dynamics Axe 2012, an ERP application that beta due this month.
With Mango potentially set for release this summer, it is not out the realm of possibility that we will see the next wave of phones out at about the same time.
The platform includes the Natural Unified Models, a library of business processes for real-world situations, and improved business intelligence capabilities to discover new insights into the data.

Microsoft Dynamics Market Place will serve as a hub for services and cloud-based add-ons designed to help companies meet their workflow needs.

Ballmer also suggested that Windows would begin to find their way onto devices other than the traditional PC.
There are more than 1 billion Windows PCs in the hands of customers around the world today, and in January, we announced that the next version of Windows will support system-on-a-chip architectures from Intel, AMD and ARM, he told audience.
So, no matter what device you use now or in the future, Windows will be there.
ARM-based systems from companies such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments today to power a variety of popular mobile devices, including tablets.
In theory, would allow SoC support any version of Windows to appear on these devices, though Microsoft remains silent on the details of the next-generation operating system.
As a part of it, prepped the Microsoft developers at the conference for the May release of the updated Windows Phone Developer Tools, which will theoretically possible for the establishment of more integrated and high performance applications. Platform features include multitasking application for background processes, sound and file transfer, and rapid processing of applications, as well as the ability to take advantage of augmented reality experiences. Microsoft also detailed the next Windows 7 Phone software update, code-named Mango, which will allow smart phones to download applications and content in the background, and stream music through a program while you work in another. It will also feature a faster Internet Explorer 9 Angry Birds will appear on the platform in May (because what else do you do with a smartphone?), And Skype and Spotify music program will appear in the fall timeframe.
We felt it would be better to be patient, make sure that when we get updates that they would be reliable, and, unfortunately, which caused a delay in getting things out, Joe Belfiore, vice president for Windows Phone program management, told the audience during his keynote, according to a Reuters post.
That being said, he also had a positive impact on Mango updates that are delivered on time.
In addition to Windows 7 Phone, MIX11 gave developers a glimpse of the beta for Kinect SDK for Windows and Silverlight Beta 5.
Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president of Internet Explorer, offered a breakdown of the upcoming Internet Explorer 10, which is based on IE 9s native HTML5 support and performance optimization.
Internet Explorer 10 will push the boundaries of what developers can do on the Web even further, he said.
Outside the major conferences, there was little business as usual.
Fifteen of the bulletins addressed vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to run code.
It was not only the biggest Patch Tuesday of 2011, but the biggest so far from companysurpassing in October 2010 update that patched 49 bugs.
One of the bulletins covering object-management memory-corruption problem from Internet Explorer 8 which was exploited in the Marche Pwn2Own CanSecWest hacking contest.
Microsoft also addressed vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel that could be used to circumvent user access control and other processes.
Sixty-four vulnerabilities is a very large amount, so that organizations should be prepared, said Dave Marcus, McAfee Labs director of security research and communications.
