Question

I have a Windows Phone 7 app to develop as a pet project and was going to get a phone just for testing my application. The app doesn’t require calling features, so I was wondering if it would make more sense to get a Zune HD instead of the phone (trying to avoid paying monthly service fees).
In short, how close are the Zune HD and a windows phone 7 for testing simple “lob” type applications that would ultimately be sold as a windows phone 7 app?

Answer 1

This won’t work since the apps need to run on the Phone O/S, which does not run on Zune devices. Nice idea though.
