"Nokia's current lineup of Lumia devices - Lumia 900, 800 and 710 - will not be upgradeable to the next major version of Windows Phone mobile platform, codenamed Apollo, the Verge claims citing a source close to Microsoft. \nOfficially, Microsoft only promises that \"all apps in the Marketplace today will run on the next version of Windows Phone,\" without clarifying whether the current Lumias will get Apollo down the road. \nIf true, this is bad news for Lumia owners. For comparison, most Android devices are usually launched with a promise to be upgradeable to at least the next iteration of Android software. \nIt may be good news in the sense that the next version of Windows Phone platform might bring some radical improvements, but that's not very comforting to users who already purchased a Lumia phone. \nAn unconfirmed list of features in Apollo includes support for multi-core CPUs, different resolutions and NFC, as well as deep Xbox and Skydrive integration.\nUpdate: After some commenters pointed us to a report about a Microsoft spokesperson claiming that all Windows Phone handsets would get upgraded to Windows Phone 8 (aka \"Apollo\"), we reached out directly to Microsoft for clarification. They respectfully declined to confirm whether or not current handsets would be upgradeable to the new OS, when it's available."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
