Nokia giving developers free E7 and free WP7 device

Posted on February 19, 2011 by ahsan

Ref:Nokia’s decision to switch from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 might not have been met with glee from many developers, but the company looks to be addressing its coding community in a decent way. SlashGear has been passed details of an email sent to Nokia Launchpad program members, in which they’re promised a free Nokia E7 together with “one free Nokia WP7 device, as soon as it becomes available.”

Launchpad is Nokia’s mobile app development program, usually priced at €300 annually but currently free for the first year. Membership is available – on an approved application basis – for individuals and companies, and regularly includes early access to APIs and SDKs, promotions in the Ovi Store and invitations to training events.

As well as free devices, however, this new change will see free tech support on all Nokia technologies for the next three months (limited to ten tickets at most) and a free “user experience evaluation” of any apps developers have coded. There’s also the promise of extended business development support. More on the Nokia change in our Stephen Elop interview from MWC 2011 this week.

Windows Server AppFabric

Windows Server AppFabric release we are evolving the application server capabilities in Windows Server to introduce enhanced application hosting and administration tooling (previously codename “Dublin”) for services written using WCF and WF programming models, and providing distributed cache capabilities (previously codename “Velocity”) for .NET applications. The high-level architecture overview of AppFabric is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee677374.aspx.
