Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 event: Follow it live

When Microsoft pulls up the curtain on the newest version of its mobile operating system, Windows Phone 8, today at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, you can see a live blog of the action here.

The formal unveiling of Windows Phone 8 comes on the heels of Microsoft's official announcement of the latest release of its PC operating system, Windows 8. Many of the core technologies in Windows 8 are actually incorporated into Windows Phone 8.

Today's event marks the third time that Microsoft is taking a bite of the smartphone apple. The first bite came with Windows Phone 7, which was seen as a major improvement over prior Microsoft mobile operating systems, but an incomplete product. Redmond's second bite was the "Mango" release of Windows Phone 7, a more polished product that received more claps than slaps.
