The questions around the Windows 10 release for smartphones continue and today, Microsoft's Joe Belfiore, has taken to Twitter to answer a few of them. Namely addressing 512MB RAM devices and where they stand as well as how wide the initial Technical Preview will be.

"Hey all: we ARE working on Win10 for 512MB, including 520. Our ambition is to make #Win10 available for these devices but features may vary""Timing for various phones may be variable as well. When we first launch insider program, it'll be a subset of phones with more coming latr""Also, we're on track for Insider build coming "in Feb" as Terry said at our 1/21 event. We need to complete internal testing 1st, hang in!"
