We did an update for Mexico (Meiern, Mäxchen,…) to run on Windows Phone 7.
Currently we are trying to get this on the WP7 Marketplace and decided to give you a developer preview.
Don’t forget to check out the Video:
So, if you have WP7 SDK and/or Zune, try out the new version.
Im Februar in Barcelona von Joe Belfiore präsentiert – wird es zu Windows Phone 7 – auch endlich öffentlich verfügbare Devices geben.
Somit verstehe ich ja den Slogan der neuen Werbelinie als: “ Seid’s endlich da ihr Geräte!” – obwohl als echter Wiener würde ich ihn ja mit: “Geh her do!” übersetzen.
Microsoft zielt aber mit dem Slogan darauf ab – uns allen wieder mehr Aufmerksamkeit für andere Dinge zu ermöglichen.
Wir sind gespannt!
Auf der WinFuture.de Seite habe ich 2 Werbespots gefunden. Würde mich freuen Eure Kommentare dazu zu lesen.
Windows Phone 7 Werbung – Be Here Now. #1
Windows Phone 7 Werbung – Be Here Now. #2
Austrian Provider A1 is giving away 360 XBOX 360 if you preorder a Windows Phone 7 Device.
What a start – I hope there will be a similar thing like when 6.5 was launched
If you ever want to add a service reference to your Windows Phone 7 app, and fail with a message like:
Custom tool warning: No endpoints compatible with Silverlight 3 were found.
Please remember the following 2 simple actions to finally get your reference:
1) Silverlight only supports basicHttpBinding (default: wsHttpBinding) -> so change it in the web.config file
2) close your Visual Studio & reopen it again.
Now try to update your reference: ét voilà!
This worked for me. Bonne chance!
Last week Microsoft published the final version of the all new operating system Windows Phone 7.
Those lucky guys (yes, that’s me!) who own a prerelease of a WP7 phone, can update the phone’s OS to RTM. All the others just may uninstall the Developer Tools Beta, and install the RTM.
Final version ships with e.g. following controls:
- Panorama
- Pivot
- Map (yes, they included a silverlight control for bing maps!)
Upgrading from beta to the final version was quite simple, namespaces stayed the same. I only had to transfer my app from codeplex’s PanoramaControl to Panorama, and PivotControl to Pivot. And as far as I tested the app by now, MS also fixed some bugs (like refresh-bugs, ScrollViewer).

If you are a developer, and own one of the prototypes, Microsoft gave away, you might want to reset the device, before showing it a potential customer:
Go to the main screen, settings, info.
On the bottom of the screen there’s the button to reset the device to factory settings.
How to find out, if your app is running in an emulator, or on a real device?
In July’s beta, Microsoft has moved this property from System.Environment to Microsoft.Devices.Environment namespace.
//enum DeviceType contains: Device, Emulator this.IsEmulator = (Microsoft.Devices.Environment.DeviceType == DeviceType.Emulator);
