Michael Dell says that feedback from developers points that it's easier to develop with Windows Phone 7 than with Android

Speaking from Hong Kong, Michael Dell said that feedback from developers points that it's easier to develop with Windows Phone 7 than with Android. That's a good news for the infant Microsoft OS since some questions have been raised whether the small number of applications for Windows Phone 7 won't pose a problem for the platform's popularity.

We learned today that 12 000 developers are working on applications for Windows Phone 7 and that Netflix is already available on the platform. It's well known that Windows Phone 7's tight integration with Xbox LIVE is an important advantage for some users over the rival operating systems and all these facts make it unlikely that the Windows Phone Marketplace will be the platform's downfall.

Back to Dell, the company is expected to release the Windows-bound Dell Venue Pro in the very near future and its carrier will be T-Mobile.
