New does not mean better...We don't mind microsoft releasing a new platform as repeated a million times..just some of the things they mention are a bit outrageous and are complete copy of iPhone...innovation means something new...they are giving us 2 years ago...sure WP7 can improve, even iPhone improved since it came out but if they are scratching backwards compatibility might as well go to a more developed platform.

I mean just by announcing what they did pretty much completely killed wm6.5 development. Adobe and many others are just saying wp7 is when we will release our thing..but thats already late..

I wonder though..when Adobe ports Flash to WP7 will it be made in silverlight and then M$ can port their flash silverlight emulator to silverlight and include it in windows to completely kill their rival platform..its all part of their master plan (lol..I couldn't resist)

I have no doubt in my mind it will be made in Silverlight. I'm pretty sure that's the only way to make any apps for WP7.

there's silverlight and also the gaming platform they are using. both are being given to developers along with a howto book. apparently it's pretty basic as far as developing goes. they are trying to make everything on those 2 platforms so they can be ported between devices (the dev won't have to make a full x-box version, wp7 version, pc version). a lot of the code will simply carry over.

they also seem to be backing up on the copy and paste thing. it just wasn't "ready" for the initial launch, so they went forward without it. but should be in updated versions down the road.
