Microsoft on WP7s – “Developer Interest are really hot for the platform…”

March 6, 2010 | By Surur

Charlie Kindel has spoken to CNET’s Ina Fried about Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 series platform, and produced this short video above.

Charlie also gave a brief demo of some applications developed for the platform, including a smooth-looking level application. Icons for a flashlight and weather appear, and also the ZuneHD Goo Goo Splat game, suggesting ZuneHD games should transfer well over to the Windows Phone 7 platform.

According to Kindel there is already a lot of developer interest in the device, and he expects the smartphone will launch with a large catalogue of “high quality, beautiful, compelling applications”.

Hopefully this will be the case, rather than the experience with Marketplace for Windows Mobile, which has only seen slow adoption by developers.

I'm sure there will be much more interest this time around. They don't want to compete in the current marketplace, which was one of the reasons for the slow adoption but with 7 they won't have a choice.
