Windows Phone Mango "Groups": Text, IM, Email to Defined Groups

Some of the most important communication features on smartphones are surprisingly one-to-one in nature: Voice calls, SMS (texting) and IM (Instant Messaging) for example. The Mango update for Windows Phone due out later this year adds a much needed feature to make all modes of communication able to deal with one-to-many and many-to-you communication. Microsoft calls this feature “Groups.”

You contacts can be placed into various groups such as family, teams, or co-workers. A group of contacts can be placed on a Live Tile on the Windows Phone home screen.
