XNA y Windows Mobile 7

Hi,

This year there is an amazing new, XNA platform will be supported included as a Framework to develop Windows Mobile Applications.

See http://www.ozymandias.com/break-with-the-past-bright-new-future-windows-phone-application-development-platform-built-on-xna-and-silverlight

And it’s even better because of it will support 3d .,. Also for those who want to built enterprise applications they can use Silverlight
