Hi I would like to know if there are plans to directly support Windows Phone 7 in a near future.

Thanks

Microsoft has not voiced any intends officially to allow native code deployment to WP7 unhappily, which is a requirement for native code engines to go there

Hi,

Indeed native code is not allowed/supported, but we'll use the same technique than we use for the Flash 11 port to provide a WP7 version of the engine. Now, still not sure about what performances we can expect.

Thanks both, Nicox could you give me an approx availability date beta or not?
Today we purchased another license of Shiva because we want to use it more, so we are interested about the porting of our app also on WP7.

Thanks

We'll start WP7 development soon (approx 2 weeks), but don't expect a first beta before March. Our priorities for the upcoming 2 months are to finalize the Flash 11 engine and ShiVa 2.0.

thanks so much for the quick reply.

I'll be waiting for the upcoming release of Shiva. Hope to see some goodies soon!

Any 7.0 app runs in the 7.1 SDK (WP7.5 mango) too
