No native apps allowed in Windows Phone 7 Series
Windows Phone 7 is only three days old, but leaked docs from Microsoft supposed to show that the requirements for the developer have turned up (via XDA-Developers)
#WP7 will use both Silverlight and XNA, this decision makes sense it will it the Xbox 360 integration.
Microsoft has been rebuilt their Mobile devices Windows-Mobile from the ground-up, the result could be described as the Zune Phone, the Zune HD has impressed many people
The only allowed apps will be:
- XNA-written apps – mainly for games and full screen immersed apps, that don’t use standard controls; XNA uses .NET technology (managed, not native)
- .NET apps (probably Silverlight?) without possibility to invoke native API, i.e. only “managed” APIs allowed

Applications that were made for Windows Mobile 6 are compatible with Windows Phone 7 Series.

Developers though, can look forward to Microsoft’s legendary documentation and support.
