Developers shout 'Yabba dabba doo!'
Metismo has added Windows Phone 7 support to its Bedrock middleware, which enables developers to create and deploy apps across multiple smartphone platforms.
Bedrock's cross compiler converts Java source code to human readable C++ or C#, from which apps can be deployed to iPhone, Android, BREW, Symbian, BlackBerry, Palm, iPad, PSP, DS and now Microsoft's new OS.
HTML5 and Flash is also supported for web content.
John Chasey, CEO of Metismo, said: "The decision to provide support for Windows Mobile was an easy one. Although the operating system's latest version is extremely new to the market, Microsoft has learned a great deal from the rapid evolution of the global mobile market and the rise of the apps stores.
"“From a technical perspective, Windows Phone has been a particular challenge given the unique requirements of C#. While we have supported native C++ based smartphones for many years, we had to develop our cross-compiler significantly in order to be able to create native C# code. Our engineers have met the challenge beautifully."
