Microsoft expected to announce Windows Phone 8 tomorrow

Microsoft just pulled the wraps off its first tablet effort last night, and tomorrow, a different arm of the software giant could be preparing to do the same with Windows Phone.
A month ago, the above invitation arrived for a developers summit here in San Francisco.
This time, Redmond has been able to keep a fairly tight lid on its plans, but there are some rumors about what we can expect from tomorrow's all-day program.
Windows Phone 8, code-named Apollo, should headline the agenda. Microsoft has all but announced that future iterations of Windows Phone OS will support multicore processors, a hardware consideration that requires software on their end to function efficiently. However, getting developers to code for multi-threaded processing is also key. We should expect for multicore processor support to become official.
NFC support and more flexibility with the hardware and software should also come into play. As Near Field Communications (NFC) heats up, Microsoft will need to make sure that its phones don't get left behind. We'll be keeping our eye out for a virtual wallet.
