MIX 2010 is finally here and all of the info about developing on Windows Phone 7 Series is available to you. Here, Charlie Kindel gives us a recap of all the announcements made in todays keynote. Take a listen and then make sure to head HERE to get the bits and start building apps. 
The Windows Phone Developer Tools package contains a toolset that will be familiar to Visual Studio developers for Windows Phone 7 development, including a Windows Phone 7 Series emulator integrated into Visual Studio so you can see your app in action and debug it as you would with any other VS project.  Also included are Silverlight and the XNA Game Studio.  Expression Blend for Windows Phone, which brings Blend’s immersive Silverlight designer-focused environment to building immersive mobile experiences, is also available for download today from the link above.

Windows Phone 7 can host the same Silverlight runtime for the web platform, WP7 initially will run a superset of Silverlight 3 with phone-specific extensions like accelerometer etc. Just listed down here all the Mix10 keynote take aways and Links here.

Just beware that you cannot install the phone bits on XP as VS 2010 express won't run.

The opening and closing on that video are INCREDIBLY loud compared to the rest. It was scary Smiley
