Does MS publish its roadmap (or, when is Apollo coming?)

I'm just curious if they release any kind of date or estimation.

They've been making such announcements at MWC in February, so we may see something then.

Eight on. That new picture of the HTC Titan got me all excited again, so I was wondering. I really need to get out of this "new phone every six months" thing, lol.

I'd guess that they are on a biannual cycle. Major update in fall, minor update in spring.

Launch - Fall '10
Nodo - Spring '11
Mango - Fall '11
Tango - Spring '12
Apollo - Fall '12

A fall 2012 Apollo update also coincides with Windows 8 Release. WP7 will likely be called Windows Phone 8 at this point.

Really should rename it to zPhone or something. Need to take the MSFT/Windows out of it - as it's caused too much heartache for lots of people.

Theres an article in todays WPCentral "news" about this it's officially shown as a rumor but it seems fairly logical and is likely to be the roadmap. Check it out!
