A new report claims that Microsoft plans to launch a public Developer Preview version of Windows Phone 8.1 on Thursday, April 10, a week after the BUILD conference.



From Neowin:

Microsoft's BUILD conference is scheduled to start on Wednesday in San Francisco, but the thousands of software developers who are attending the event may have to wait slightly longer to get their hands on Windows Phone 8.1. A new report from WPCentral claims the Developer Preview version of the mobile operating system won't be made available until the week after BUILD 2014.

Specifically, the report says its sources claim the preview version won't be launched until Thursday, April 10, by Microsoft. That means developers will be able to check out the many new features of the OS a couple of weeks after the RTM version was completed and send to hardware makers, including Nokia.
