I'm currently in the process of examining SL support on various devices.<br /><br />This is just a "guess" on my part, but IMHO I think Microsoft is doing the Silverlight-only route (initially) for a specific reason. I believe they have likely decided this is an excellent way to "force" the adoption of Silverlight across a broader audience and therefore speed up its future hold and domination toward SL crushing Flash.<br /><br />Again that is just a total guess but it makes a lot of sense to me and is simply something that popped into my brain while performing my current due diligence.<br /><br />Regards,<br />MLLMLLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768571651580285164.post-45210451571389994732010-08-06T00:52:17.353-05:002010-08-06T00:52:17.353-05:00Nice post.

I don’t know exactly what this means (and they did not clarify). I doubt they are going to spend much effort putting anything new into it. I also doubt that many phone manufacturers will be coming out with new hardware for a “dead” platform either. I guess I am Mr. Negative too.sregohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645357206817302580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768571651580285164.post-79226072957724759022010-06-17T12:31:38.102-05:002010-06-17T12:31:38.102-05:00Call me Mr Negative... or Ishamel (sorry, Moby Dic...Call me Mr Negative... or Ishamel (sorry, Moby Dick flashbacks)... but I just don't see anything positive about the new WP7. I don't own an xbox, I don't play any games on my phone, pocketplayer does a great job playing the music I have on my phone, and it seems that most of the applications I use cannot/will not work on WP7. At least not right out of the box, which they do fine on WM6.5. While waiting for the TP2 to come out, I picked up a palm pre for a few weeks and I hated the fact that i couldn't do all of the things I *needed* to do. It was a fun phone to play around with, I loved the card system and pandora, and the keyboard was fine for me too. BUT, I returned it, grabbed the TP2, and have been happy since. <br /><br />I know a lot of people seem really excited about WP7, and the big things for them are the Zune and xbox stuff. I'm really hoping that there will still be an adult, ahem, professional version of windows mobile released until the game and music playing WP7 catches up.Mike P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768571651580285164.post-34529197422466248232010-06-17T02:34:46.054-05:002010-06-17T02:34:46.054-05:00I think I don't like it so much anymore.

I think if you are okay with the iPhone-style apps, you will be very happy. Unfortunately for me (and I am sure for others too), WP7 can’t support the apps we are currently running on Windows Mobile. I can’t wait (years?) for Microsoft to get WP7 ready, so that leaves Android as an alternative. I am not too keen on going the Android route since my expertise is with .NET.sregohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645357206817302580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768571651580285164.post-88251909321380975622010-06-15T12:57:54.895-05:002010-06-15T12:57:54.895-05:00Thanks for responding.
