"Microsoft announced its third update for the Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system today, adding support for a more powerful processor and larger handsets with 1080p displays.\r\n\r\nThe platform will now support &amp;quot;jumbo-sized&amp;quot; Start screens and show up to six Live Tiles on each row, rather than the four that's currently available.\u00A0Microsoft also scaled some of its pre-installed apps such as email, Photos, People, Music and Videos to take advantage of the space.\r\n\r\nGDR3, or General Distribution Release 3, also supports Qualcomm\u2019s beefy 8794 quad-core processor, as well as a new software feature called Driving Mode; when connected with a Bluetooth device, this limits the number of notifications on the lock screen \u2013 texts calls, status alerts and the like \u2013 while you're out on the road.\r\n\r\nThe third update also brings over Mobile Accessibility, which is a catalog of apps designed to help blind and visually impaired users carry out everyday tasks on their handset. It also includes a new rotation lock feature, which will keep the screen in-check while you're lying sideways in bed or on the sofa.\r\n\r\nThe software update will be available on existing Windows Phone 8 handsets &amp;quot;over the next several months,&amp;quot; according to Microsoft."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
