To better interact and communicate with mobile developers, Microsoft held the Windows Phone 7 "Mango" early adopters warm-up competition-to develop applications and win the "Mango" mobile phone. The objective is to encourage mobile developers, students, and entrepreneurial teams to develop Windows phones, especially mango-based applications. This warm-up competition was officially launched on the Chinese site of msdn on March 13, September 5. It took only 25 days to complete the application collection on April 9, September 30 and the review on April 9, October 8, but everyone's enthusiasm for participation exceeded all the application development competitions I have ever seen! When Windows Phone has not yet entered China and marketplace has not been opened to Chinese developers, development tools only have English versions, the results of the warm-up match were very unexpected, reflecting the high expectations and Development enthusiasm of the Windows Phone platform. Let's take a brief look at the following figures.
We carefully reviewed all participating applications. We sat down with our friends in the community and some end users during the 11th holiday and carefully tested and evaluated on the simulator and real machine. AccordingOriginality, innovation, visual attraction (visual xap appeal), consumer attraction, and mango mobile app featuresTo review the entries. Throughout the review process, there were a lot of active discussions and even debates. In the end, 10 better applications were favored by everyone,Every winning app will receive a Windows Phone as a reward!Other developers who participate in and submit applications, the original plan was that the top 50 app submitter will receive a refund for the developer account worth $99 (that is, within two months after the event ends, submitted by the app to publish the app to the Windows Phone marketplace App Store for reimbursement ),To encourage the first batch of contestants in the warm-up competition, all developers who have submitted applications will be rewarded with the Reimbursement account and will be able to participate in the subsequent Windows Phone training camp organized by Microsoft for free!
