During the MIX 2010 keynote this morning, Microsoft will unveil the development platform for the Windows Phone 7 Series that will bring new applications to life. And guess what! The developer tools are free.
Microsoft has released a free comprehensive tool support package for Silverlight on Windows Phone 7 Series, available for download. Expression Blend for Windows Phone and a preview of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone will be also included as part of the download.
Of course there will be a Marketplace: Microsoft made available a new merchandising tool that will enable developers and designers to bring applications and games to market and increase the discoverability of applications with customers while supporting one-time credit card purchases, mobile operator billing and advertising-funded applications.
Silverlight 4 Release Candidate (RC): In addition, Microsoft announced a release candidate (RC) for Silverlight 4 which will enable developers to create and deploy even more robust applications and rich interactive experiences.
Expression Blend 4 Beta: Microsoft revealed a new beta for its design and development workflow tool which includes features such as Path Layout to enable developers and designers to build and animate innovative UI design via ground-breaking visual layout mechanism, without the need to write code. The beta also supports Silverlight 4, .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010.
UPDATE: The developer tools can be downloaded from MSDN or www.developer.windowsphone.com after 11 AM Pacific Time.

HTC HD 3 pictures and specs leaked
March 15th, 2010 Comments Off
This is one of the more reasonable HTC HD3 concept phones that we’ve seen so far, especially in terms of hardware design. This Windows Phone 7 series devices has an upgraded Snapdragon CPU running at 1.5GHz, supported by 1GB of RAM and 1GB of ROM. It also has an 8MP camera on the rear with a dual LED flash, plus a large 1800mAh battery to keep the juice flowing. In terms of hardware, it’s got a 4.5" screen (it’s unlikely that HTC would move beyond the mammoth 4.3" size found on the current device), a 10mm profile, and the three buttons needed for WP7S: Start, search, and back. The screen is AMOLED and has 1280×800 resolution, which is not a resolution that WP7S will support.
