XNA is amazing but if you ask me it's hard...

Ok Xna you need visual basics to compile the code to windows mobile. Man now Iam upset , I dont know why Microsoft is making it so difficult. I wish they just keep the same formula for thier system. Makslane had to make 100 changes just to keep it compatible. It seems everytime Makslane makes a change to make Game Editor compatible,Microsoft makes another change for it not to be compatible.
This is fustrating!!

I think is a huge Microsoft mistake.
The Firefox development for Windows Phone 7 was stopped due the lack of native applications support:

Yes I read that articule and thier not the only ones, alot of smaller independent companies are upset as well. The bulk of games made for windows mobile are comprised of small independent companies like astraware,glu,etc.I found a way to boot android on my windows mobile so I can run apk. files on there. I can only run 2D apps thou because opengl doesnt work on android boot up. Will it be easier to make windows phone7 or android export capabilities.

Microsoft just needs to hurry up and make a multi-touch portable gaming system, that way we can make games for that without worrying about the changes in microsoft's phones.
