Now before you start jumping for joy, this is not the update we’re all waiting for. Its not NoDo, or the update that contains the performance enhancements and copy/paste, but instead, this is a minor update to the device infrastructure that helps improve the whole update process. Some of you Zune users out there might have seen an update to the Zune software that was pushed out a couple of weeks ago. This is probably inline with that. So now we’re just one step closer to getting NoDo!
According to their blog:
“What’s in this update?
This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself. So while it might not sound exciting, it’s still important because it’s paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search.
In the future, I encourage you to check out our new update history page on the Windows Phone website for a brief, plain-English summary of what each update does or what features it adds to your phone.
When will I get this update?
We’ll begin sending it out today. But to help ensure the process goes smoothly, it won’t be sent to everyone at once. So you might see an update message before your spouse, co-worker, or neighbor (or vice versa). This is a common industry practice. That said, we understand you’re eager to have the latest software on your phone, and our goal is to deliver it to you as quickly as possible.”
For our WP7 users out there, have you seen this update come through yet? I haven’t seen it on my Surround as of this posting. I’ve read reports where it could take 30 minutes once its downloaded because it does a system backup.
