Windows Phone 7 introduces a new mobile platform designed around key UX principles of lightness, simplicity, typography, motion and focus on content over chrome. The platform includes hardware specifications, a Windows Phone OS, and an ecosystem connecting to services like Bing Maps, Live and Xbox Live. Developers can create rich apps using the XNA or Silverlight frameworks, testing in the emulator before deploying apps to the Windows Phone Application Marketplace.
