Hello,
I'd like to start programming Windows. I've heard that people submitting apps before February will obtain Windows Mobile. Is it true? Which framework should I use for?
Thank in advance
first, i think you're talking about Windows Phone, not Windows mobile.
to develop for this platform you have to download the sdk, including an emulator from this website:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27570
to publish applications on marketplace (and to unlock phones) you have to subscribe an AppHub contract (paid, 99$/€/year)
http://create.msdn.com/en-US/
if you want only to unlock a phone (without the marketplace developer access) you can read various posts on this forum
obtaining a developer phone is not that simple,but it depends which country you'r from
Yeah Windows Mobile was it, you could do more with it but it's in the past, Welcome to Windows Phone where MS tells you what you want and need instead. LOL. I have the Trophy and it is great but it will never be as good as my Touch Pro 2.

I agree, but only oh half...
90% of users are dummies. they need easy and closed operating systems.
that's the reason why ios and wp are so closed up.
WindowsMobile was great.. but such a mess!! it was used only from people that needed it.. if they want to sell... they have to realize something easy and reliable..
android takes a slightly different path, it is closed if you don't want to unlock it..

If you are a skype heavy user with your mobile (as myself), let me tell you that is no longer available for download in the skype's website. They state the following:
"We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience –much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone, and which is now available on Symbian phones".
So...if you have installed skype for wm in your phone, you will only have 2010 to still used it.

Can I still use Skype Lite if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype Lite can continue to use it throughout 2010.
Can I still use Skype for Windows phones if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype for Windows phones can of course continue to use it.

On the second question they do not say anything about stopping after 2010...
So?, do they will launch another version later?, or will be gone forever?
skype is not giving a detailed explanation on what will happen after 2010 finishes...
Hope they do something about it
Thanks for the article

You problably are right orb, my first impression was...mmm...maybe they are preparing skype for Windows Phone 7....but if they shutdown the service (app compatibility) by the end of this year for WM, I'll be scre**d....because I'm still planning to have my HTC devices until next year. I still have my Nokia which was a present, but my primary device is the Kaiser....man I love WM..and seen this makes me consider to migrate to other OS.
Hello guys...i need your help...
I cant find the QIK program for livestream with HD2...
Do you have any ideas?
Hi, AFAIK Qik does not have a working client for the HD2. Ironic considering it's one of the most powerful smartphones. I think they've been pressed by the competition to not support the HD2 and threatened them that they will change their terms and conditions specifically to block their software from their marketplace ;-)
Guys dont be suprised. Windows Phone will be relased soon, so im SURE, that Microsoft pressing developers to not relase apps for WM 5 and 6.
Maybe you think im crazy, but Google some in Internet. Last news informing, that Microsoft employees got free Windows Phones from they bosses, but they must everyone must write apps for this platform. M$ "fat fishes" giving even all needed STK's and tools to start programing now.
Other news is that M$ will pay to external companies if they will rewrite iPhone apps to Windows Phone.
So only future which i see for HD2 is Android ROM's.
Just use Google and find that.
Hey Guys,
1) sorry if this has come up before, search-fu is weak and nothign relevant seems to come up with the "Similar threads" thing.
2) My provider has all but forced me off Windows Mobile, which is fine, since with sideloading being such a hard task on WM7, and that I would have to pay alot to get a WM7 handset and go up monthly fees too, i'm not too fussed.
So i've taken the plunge and gone for an Android phone, trouble is I have a few apps on my old windows mobile device I would love to run on Android... number 1 priority being TomTom Navigator, which yes, I could repay for, but I don't see why I should have to.
So, is there any software in the works that will let me run Windows Mobile based apps on an Android phone?
many thanks
Sorry for bringing an old topic back into the daylight, but I have the same thought. I definately need some apps of WM running on Android when I'll buy my new phone, so this kind of emulator would be a major reason to switch from my outdated Touch Pro. Couldn't something like Haret be created, just to run Windows Mobile, not Android?
There is no, for now
thanks for clearing that out, that's a pitty. But how about the future? Is it at least theorically possible to create something to have this kind of dual boot? Would Android community and developers be interesting in this?
Yeah I wish that was possible, but no.
If I subscribe to the Microsoft dev program to officially make apps, can I upload custom xaps (like the ones posted in this forum) to the phone I register with Microsoft for development?
My company work with iPhone and Android dev, and we are thinking of expanding into wp7 dev, so my company would be footing the subscription cost.
As far as I understand it, the chevron7 unlock enables the same registry key that the Microsoft dev program does, am I right in thinking this?
Regards,
owen
Yes, a developer unlocked phone, regardless of whether its with Microsoft, or with Chevron, can sideload XAP files.

My friend hasn't got a Windows Phone 7 but he'd like to publish Windows Phone applications in Microsoft App Hub. If he has a Windows Live ID, can he do it? (I mean without having a Windows Phone)
Hi
If he hasn't got a Windows Phone, how and why da hell he makes WP7 Apps?!
Answering your question, yes, he can...
Cheers!
yes, he can!
he has to pay for the appHub subscription and he can publish applications.
he can also publish beta and set avilability for some users only

If your friends is an etudiant, maybe he can register on Dreamspark and have a developer account for free in apphub ..
Thanks to all for the answers!
Unless his applications are very basic, I wouldn't recommend releasing them without testing on a device. The emulator is pretty good and all, but it does have basically unlimited CPU/GPU power and much faster read/write speed when compared to an actual device.
i think you cant
windows phone application is only for windows phone
