A look at Mango's overhauled Live Tile system.

-Local notifications: these aren't push, but instead are purely local--great for alarms, reminders, "note tiles", etc.

-Deep Toast: Say 'Weather Bug' gives you a flood toast notification, when you click it, it can now take you directly to the flood alert, instead of just opening the app. This is very cool.

-Multi-tiles: One app, 'X' amount of tiles. For example, you have a news app with World, Local and Political news, you can now create individual Live Tiles for each category, or whatever the dev allows

-Live Tile limit bumped: Currently, you can only have 15 Live Tiles on your phone. Starting with Mango, that goes to 30.

-Tile flip: When a notification comes in, the Tile can "flip" with a back image (see video)

-Improvements: Reliability, performance and efficiency (15 min polling, down from 60) have all been adjusted and made better
