Here's the lowdown:</p><ul><li>The Mobile device application story is this: Silverlight for Internet-based applications, and XNA for gaming. </li><li>Free developer tools: Expression Blend, and Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone.</li><li>Windows Phone Marketplace is getting one-time credit card transactions, mobile-operator based billing, and advertising-funded applications!</li><li>Silverlight 4 Release Candidate and Expression Blend beta 4 are on their way!</li></ul><p>And if that's not enough, you can keep up on all of the action at MIX <a href="http://live.visitmix.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!</p><p> </p>
