Developers: MS Hopes To Lure iOS Apps With API Mapping Tool

Posted by timothy on from the hey-fellas-psssst-over-here dept.

Microsoft isn't standing idly by while Appple's app store fills with software; fysdt writes "A newly-announced service called the iOS to Windows Phone 7 API mapping tool acts as an interchange for developers to take applications they've already written for Apple's platform, and figure out ways to get the code work with Microsoft's standards."

    Android development doesn't require you to buy hardware?

    Awesome, do they recommend you use punch cards, or do you compile your code in the public library?

    Purchasing a used Mac mini for $500 to get access to world's largest mobile app store really is an unsurmountable barrier, that only the mightiest of giants can overcome.
