New Mango beta available to developers today, Twitter integration on Mango previewed (Video)

Wow. First, the good news of mango hitting RTM, then the launch of first Mango device , Fujitsu-Toshiba IS12T, in Japan and now a new Mango beta build is made available by Microsoft available via Microsoft Connect. The biggest change in the refreshed beta is Twitter integration, which was disabled in previous beta. The refreshed beta build is 7712, which is not the RTM build. But it's close to the final build, so it's more or less the same as the RTM build w.r.t presentation and features.

Cliff Simpkins, PM of Windows Phone division, posted a detail article regarding the refreshed beta announcement, changes for developers and lot more. Read the official blog post here.

Tom Warren of Winrumors posted his hands on experience with Twitter integration in Mango. It works just as expected. See the integration below in action:



Developers already sporting Mango beta will receive an update notification via both Zune and mobile which would let them seamlessly upgrade to refreshed beta build. But syncing and deploying requires updated Zune client which needs to be downloaded from Microsoft Connect website.

Excited yet?
