Will not they really run under Windows Phone?
At least not on unhacked devices, cause they only allow .NET
applications (more precise: Silverlight and XNA applications). One of
those decisions that I can not (and want not) understand...
Then, it is awesome, is not it? As for me, WM and its API was quite
comprehensible and convenient to develope applications in my favourite Pascal.
There was large number of devices running under WM. Fotunately, there is a lot
of ones so far.
Sorry, but what do think is awesome? That you can only write .NET
applications for Windows Phone 7? That's what I call terrible (which is
basically the contrary of "awesome").
Maybe in the near future it will be worth to tend to the upcoming Bada platform
of Samsung which allows to develope in C++? :)
Operating systems which provide a C++ API are always harder to interface
with e.g. Free Pascal than C based ones, because you need to flatten the
interface. See e.g. QT where you need to use an additional library which
flattens the C++ based API to a C based one.
