Windows Phone Thoughts: Windows Phone 7 Apps: The Developers Are Getting Ready

If you'd have to pick the focus for the Windows Phone 7 efforts that are going on before launch, it would be these three words: developers, developers, developers. Developers were the first ones to get the hardware, and Microsoft has concentrated much of their effort on getting thousands of developers on board making applications. How great these apps will be depends on what you're looking for; without the ability to execute native code, some developers are holding off until that situation changes. And some developers, as the videos below show, are coming up with some creative apps - I'm really looking forward to firing up the Windows Phone Marketplace on my Windows Phone 7 device and seeing a broad offering of applications.
