Microsoft on Monday announced its third update to Windows Phone 8. It will support bigger, higher-resolution screens, paving the way for WinPho 8 devices with 5- and 6-inch 1080p HD touchscreens that will have six Live Tiles across instead of four. There will also be a host of new features. Simultaneously, Microsoft has launched the Windows Phone Preview for developers. “Support for larger-screen phones closes a gap in the range of devices running Microsoft platforms,” said Rob Sanfilippo, a research vice president at Directions on Microsoft.
