Hey, if you’re a published webOS developer, Microsoft’s gonna give you whatever you need to be a Windows Phone developer, like free phones and dev tools. So says Brandon Watson, who runs Windows Phone’s Developer Experience program.
At least you know Windows Phone will last longer than stocking. Probably. [Brandon Watson/Twitter]

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 5:05 PMWhat a clever plan by Microsoft…. poach developers from the failed operating system.
I’m clearly terrible at business, because I would have thought you’d be better off poaching developers who made popular apps for successful platforms instead.

Microsoft have been trying to lure as many developers as possible, even using Microsoft Game Studios to bring games to the platform. For example Angry Birds is a Microsoft Game Studios game.
