Just a quick post to keep this thing up to date (and attract blog spam, I love it). We had an excellent speaker tonight at our user group in Hereford; Paul Foster from Microsoft presented on a ton of stuff in Windows Mobile and how to develop for it. He made it look easy but the designer tools scared me somewhat with their black turtle neck style UI and 'layers'. 'tis worth getting a look at Win Mo 7 before things pick up as devices are due to launch in the late Autumn and getting code working now on the emulator will place you in a good position for launch.
I recommend checking Paul's blog, the Windows Phone dev site and the XNA site to get up to speed on Win Phone.
Also, we had a good swag giveaway with decent T-Shirts, loads of MS Visual 2010 stuff (silly putty, screwdrivers, mice of the non-rodent variety) and a Windows 7 licence that MS gave us months ago and I found in the bottom of the swag cupboard. Everyone got something (I nabbed some silly putty). Thanks again Paul, I recommend you to get him at your user group (what, you don't have one!).
