Is there any other extra features or will we just have to wait to see?

 

Thanks again.

I'm also hoping more developer devices will become available in the UK, although there are labs being organised in London giving developers a chance to deploy their apps, although if you're doing desktop PC development then this is not really an option.

Hopefully the momentum for Windows Phone 7 will step up as it is clearly getting close to launch, I'm guessing that as final dev tools are being made available this also means a final version of the Emulator and OS too.
