Microsoft previewed the WP7 "Mango" update, which brings IE 9 to mobile devices. IE 9 is based on Trident 5.0 and Chakra, supports SVG, HTML5, CSS 3. Several OEMs (besides Nokia) including HTC, Samsung, ZTE have promised to build devices with the OS when Mango comes out this fall.

Mobile phone numbers: Smartphones accounted for 23.6 percent of overall mobile phone sales by volume in the first quarter of 2011, but Apple, HTC and RIM accounted for 75% of profits and only 16% of volumes. Nokia remained the top phone OEM worldwide in terms of sales by volume, with Samsung on 2nd place, LG in 3rd, Apple in 4th and RIM in 5th.
