The downside of Windows Phone 7 is that it is the most limiting and sandboxed development platform of all mobile operating systems. No native code execution like Android, no multitasking, no direct access to the camera, no sockets support and more. Even Silverlight has less restrictions.
- allenbrunson 17y agono sockets support? sounds like a dealbreaker. does it have something similar to take up the slack, like a web access framework or something?
- felixmar 17y agoOnly HTTP is supported unlike Silverlight which also supports TCP sockets and even multicast UDP with Silverlight 4.
- sadiq 17y agoAndroid has native code execution via the NDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
- felixmar 17y agoMy mistake, i meant to write "No native code execution support like Android has".
