says a leaked roadmap indicates the first Windows Phone devices with dual-core processors and/or 720p Retina display-like screens may not arrive until the end of next year.
The roadmap, published by the oft accurate MS_Nerd, author of a Microsoft whistleblowing blog, says the firm won’t be releasing “Apollo” – the codename for Windows Phone 8 (WP8)– or its associated advanced hardware until late 2012.
WP8 will be launched on devices sporting a chassis 3, which makes room for dual-core processors and improved HD screens, though by the end of 2012, those hardware features will be a full year behind devices emerging into the market over the next few months.
