“Its typed, structured programming language is built around the idea of only using a touchscreen as the input device to author code.” - Microsoft’s new TouchStudio for Windows Phone 7.

The existing development channels for WP7, iOS, and Android are a steep hill to climb for most. This could be hypercard for the touch-screen era. A user friendly development environment that fosters a rich developer ecosystem. Or it could be a P.O.S. a la Android App Inventor. I find myself hoping it’s the former, as I see a lot I like in WP7. Kudos to Microsoft for trying, either way.
