Windows Phone 7 App Development

A platform with a lot of promise!

The newest smartphone OS to hit the market is Windows Phone 7, which was released in October 2010. Windows Phone 7 uses a mobile version of Internet Explorer as its browser and it aims to offer a familiar experience for Windows users. Adobe will also be included in the project with a mobile version of Flash. Software updates will be delivered via Microsoft Update.

The general consensus on Windows Phone 7 is that it’s a platform with a lot of promise, but still needs a year or two to really mature into a feature-rich and attractive platform.
