Next monday, Mix10 will start in Las Vegas. Even though it’s a little bit far from my place here in France I’ll try to give feedback after the keynotes and as soon as first videos will be available. I’m sure you’re aware that major announcements this years at Mix will be about the Windows Phone 7 series.

To make the long story short :

• Windows Mobile 7 was presented during last WMC (Word Mobile Congress) under the name “Windows Phone 7 series”
• Microsoft demonstrated the new UI experience coming with this new version
• Microsoft confirmed that Silverlight and XNA will be the technologies available to develop on the Windows Phone
• Microsoft shows off single game running on Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox

I’m sure you realize that we are going to a very capable and powerful mobile platform here:

• all existing .Net and Silverlight developers are going to be able to write apps for the Windows Phone (this is HUGE)
• we are going to finally have the 3 screens version of Microsoft: develop once and then run on your mobile, your PC and your TV (XBox)
