Mango is starting to roll out! It was several months ago that Microsoft made known that Mango would be available this fall, though when this fall had never been specified. The first day of fall was a few days ago and Microsoft is making good on their promise with Mango rolling out to some devices as early as today. While the Mango BETA had been out for some time there are some questions that are now answered with the final release.
Microsoft is going to start pushing the update to a small number of customers and gradually ramp up the availability. Most customers will have access to Mango by the end of October. Be sure to check the Where's My Update page to know when the Mango deployment begins for your network.
The availability and cost of Internet Connection Sharing will depend on your carrier. It will only be available on new Mango devices. The previously existing devices won't be getting the feature. Keyboards for additional languages may be available on some devices, but the underlying language for a device will still be the same as it was when it was purchased.
Information from the new OS release is still being made known, so I'll be making updates to this page as I encounter them.
