My Android anchors
Now, when WP7-based devices are available, I was thinking about buying one.

Mary Jo Foley even goes so far citing Bob Muglia saying that Silverlight is [only] the development platform for WP7 apps in her provocative article “Microsoft: Our strategy with Silverlight has shifted”.
