There’s a new podcast from the Windows Phone Developers, and they mentioned a few new features that are apparently being integrated into the mobile OS of Microsoft that will be included in the upcoming “Mango” update.

That includes support for Facebook Chat and Office 365 (plus SkyDrive and SharePoint), as well as a revamped Games hub that suggests even more Xbox Live integration (including a rather interesting new “Automatic Sync” option).

Besides, the lock screen will apparently now show the album art if there is a song currently playing, and it seems there will be some new group messaging options as well, perhaps pulled in from the Live Messenger, or will we even see Skype integration being pushed rapidly into the platform?

Then again, all these are unconfirmed, including the screenshot above, so don’t put your hopes so high if you’re anticipating this new update for your WinMo smartphone.
