Hey guys,

Is there a chance of Windows Phone getting an love from skritter for an app?

Thanks

I don't think so. I know some Windows Phone developers; it's a pretty hard market right now.

In my dreams one therell be one!

For now, you could give this game I made a go:

It's maybe 5% as good as skritter and the handwriting keyboard is super lenient, but it's better than nothing :)

The solution is to not buy a win7 phone...

Now now, no need to get jealous @dfoxworthy :P

Henry,

Great job. :-)
Windows Phone development is in C#, I presume?
Don't put yourself down. Where there is a will, there is a way.
However, with juggernauts like iOS and Android I see little hope of anything else surviving in the long run?

Yup, its mainly c# and xaml much like Silverlight, although some people have had success with html5 apps too. I mainly don't have the time to investigate how to replicate the character recognition engine that Skritter has built in flash.

IOS was small once :P and having used both wp7 and an iPad, wp7 is a really solid and decent alternative that's actually better in a lot of ways, just doesn't have the market share...

Hey guys,

Thanks for your replies.

I find WP7 more fun to use and with the newer release coming soon, it should be more fun.

@blakomen: Thanks for the WuXie link.

Yes WP7 is mostly C# but any language than can be compiled to .NET library probably could be used. I am currently looking into that.
