The WP7 browser is a hybrid IE7/iE8 with no support for HTML5 / CSS3 so it's not going to deliver a native like experience through the web. We'll have to wait for IE9 to move to WP7 for that.
Well, they may be a bit behind, but I think they've a good momentum. A quick search for "wp7 ie9" revealed Microsofts plans to release an IE9 cousin for the wp7 giving us the HTML5 support we need for our Sencha Touch apps.
More multithreading support and copy-paste won't hurt them either. If they don't screw this up, the last thing I really want is alternative keyboard- and dictionary- support for when writing non-english messages.
In short I'm very happy with my wp7 as well as MS's effort with it. They're never the first, but lately they've usually been good once they get going.
Foregoing support for Windows Phone would be a mistake
Foregoing support for Windows Phone would be a mistake
Two years ago I would never have thought that Microsoft would be a smartphone player, much less that I would actually WANT a phone based on Windows. Now, windows phone is my primary mobile device (has been since the first phone was released) and I never get tired of it. I have recently installed the Mango beta complete with the new IE9 browser and things are heating up! I work in the mobile industry and I spend all day every day using iphones, blackberries, androids, phones and tablets and Windows Phone is competitive.
I have been watching Sencha Touch since the beginning and it is the most robust, cross-platform application framework for html/css/javascript developers. Keep ahead of the curve and support as many mobile platforms as possible. Cross platform will be king in the next few years whne it comes to robust mobile web application frameworks
so I wrote 3 of the top 100 apps in the phone 7 market place. We are doing more on mobile and I'm trying to review Sencha so we can deliver the same app to multipul platforms. I went to a session yesterday briefly on Sencha in Seattle and they mentioned something about it but I can't find any documentation on how to get started doing sencha in visual studio for phone 7? is there anything any where on how to do this yet?

Hi,
Would you (jobrodesign) be kind enough to share with us some more information about your discoveries, using Mango (7.5) and Sencha Touch together ?
I'm very interested in how the Kitchen Sink demos are running on Mango (Windows 7.5)
It would be great if anybody with a WP7 device, like Nokia Lumino 800 or HTC Radar, had time to test the Official Sencha Touch demos and shared with us the experices.
