As a .net developer mainly c#, I want to know what would be the best approach for me to develop Phone application that runs on major phones.
Just to let you know Iphone is out of the question because of the costs that are involved, not ready to buy Mac book.
I want something I can develop within Windows operating system, Android could have been the best option but it does not integrated well with .net.
Any idea please ?
Using .NET you can target Windows Mobile which is soon to be replaced by Windows Phone 7. So has a short shelf life.
The SDK for Windows Phone 7 is available now, but the phones won’t hit the stores until October. You could get a head start on that platform though.
Also the MonoTouch team have started work on MonoDroid which will allow you to develop .NET applications for Android phones. It isn’t available yet, but will hopefully be out around August.
So, basically, right now, Java will give you far more options for mobile development; allowing you to cover the Symbian, Blackberry and Android systems. But, by the end of the year there will be a lot more opportunities for .NET developers in this sector.
