Windows Phone 7 devices Getting The Update But Not WP8

According to sources the Windows Phone 7 devices should get update but that update don't contain Window Phone 8.which is going to be more of a "feature update" that will only introduce certain WP8 features. The source claims that it was a senior Microsoft manager and a Nokia insider who spilled the beans on this.

"An update is not technically possible because Windows [Phone] 8 uses different chip sets", the tipster explains. Nevertheless, if Microsoft is really going to bring as many of Apollo's features to current WP smartphones with the aforementioned Windows Phone 7.7 update, the scenario that the rumor projects might not be as bad as it seems. After all, the exact version number does not matter as long as the platform can do anything that the more advanced iteration is capable of.
In any case, don't forget that this is just a rumor, so it might end up being quite off track. Official information about Windows Phone 8 will likely be unveiled later this month, during the Windows Phone Developer Summit.
