I have done couple of apps as well, and yeah WP SDK and inetgration with VS is awesome. One of the major problems that I am facing is that I can only test my app on emulator, and not on real handset :-(

However, there are some curly bits around tombstoning that suck, as does the lack of real emulator (eg the old WM emulator where you could simulate most of the hardware).

One of biggest trump card for apple at this stage is content on offer via their store - applications and media both. Google's massive push in getting developers working on android platform is one of the many steps that it has taken to get more developers developing for android. I think Microsoft is in slightly better position than google as they already have a strong developer following for their toolset. No doubt, next 12-24 months is going to be exciting time for jumping into mobile development! ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Nick Randolph Sent: Thursday, 2 September 2010 11:59 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: RE: Win Phone 7 RTM Hmmm, well at least they did with the original iphone. Personally I feel they stopped innovating with the original iphone and that everything since has just been incremental improvements. I've seen more innovation coming out of both Android and WP7 than I do out of Apple. Whilst the iphone 4 sets a high bar with regards to photo/video/screen it is by no means "game changing (again)" (or whatever the apple catch phrase is). You only have to check out the "I don't care" YouTube video to understand why people continue to buy iphones (that and the copious number of awesome apps in the AppStore).

You've got to allow a couple of months for the rtm build to be round tripped through OEMs, Telcos and back to MS J That's what I like about Android. Gets updated to your existing phone. No matter how many times I tried clicking on the Windows update app on Windows phones, it never updated past the version I bought it with. :( Will Windows 7 update onto existing phones? I doubt it.
