Microsoft’s much awaited event MIX10, started with Microsoft officials emphasising on how Silverlight and Expression Blend will complement the XNA Game Studio 4.0 toolset. Microsoft launched many tools for developers which they can use to build applications for Windows Phone 7 operating system.
The developer tools include Windows Phone Emulator which can be used by developers to test different applications for Windows Phone 7. Other tools include Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone 7, Expression Blend for Windows Phone and a Windows Phone 7 add-in for Visual Studio 2010. The tool can be downloaded from Microsoft official Windows Phone 7 website.
At MIX10, Microsoft also introduced release candidate version of Silverlight 4. The final version will be available for users by the end of April 2010. However, Windows Phone 7 will not support Silverlight 4 but it will be compatible with the current Silverlight 3 with some Windows Phone specific features.
The hint was obvious that Microsoft had some ideas up their sleeves to be presented at MIX10. But the question remains whether Microsoft have any other important announcements to make during MIX10 or will it all be only about Windows Phone 7 Series?
