Is Windows Phone 8 popping up on a WP7 App?

[![Image][1] ][2]

The "I'm a WP7" app is now showing records of both [Windows Phone 8 Apollo][3] (build 8.0.9662.0) and [Windows 8 Desktop][4] Jupiter (6.2.8288.0) emulators. It seems to tie in with rumors that software testing for the mobile OS was ramped up on March 30th in anticipation for release later this year. [WP8][5] will bring a host of long-desired features to its battle with [Android][6] and [iOS][7], including multiple screen resolutions, dual-core CPUs, NFC and microSD support. Now we can start wildly speculating on which Greco-Roman God / _Battlestar Galactica_ character will lend its name to future software builds.
