Windows Phone 9 Developer Preview coming in December

[geeteam]

A new report has surfaced today claiming that Windows Phone 9 (Threshold) will see a preview launch this December for developers and will include new features such as multi-window support for devices with a screen larger than 4.7 inches.

The report claims that Microsoft will release a preview of Windows Phone 9 for developers in December this year, and will outright launch the new version of Windows Phone in January.

Having a preview of Windows Phone 9 a couple months after Windows Threshold would make a lot of sense, but we're not too sure whether Microsoft is ready to show off what's new on the Windows Phone side of things, especially as Windows Phone 8.1 launched in April this year.

The Windows Phone side of things includes the new Modern UI too, and if Microsoft do opt to talk about the Modern UI when they launch the Windows Technical Preview, then a preview of Windows Phone 9 launching soon after doesn't seem too implausible.

Of course, Windows Phone 9 launching in January is kind of a long shot. We're pretty confident that won't be the case, but you never know.
