Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 will support NFC and content sharing with computers and tablets, according to a leaked video.

The new version of Microsoft's mobile phone operating system will share a lot of components with Windows 8, the new operating system for computers and tablets, allowing developers to reuse much of their code when transferring apps.



The information comes from a leaked video featuring Nebulous Belfiore, Microsoft's Windows Phone manager, and apparently intended for staff at Nokia.



Windows Phone 8 is codenamed 'Apollo' and is due to be released after 'Tango', the next update to Windows Phone 7.



The new operating system will, according to Belfiore, support NFC - the Near Field Communication system that allows services including contactless payments. It will also support new screen resolutions for Windows handsets and removable microSD storage.



Improved data synchronisation means that music collections and Xbox gaming data will be shared seamlessly between computers and mobile handsets.
