Microsoft has announced a program, build two Windows Phone 7.5 apps, get a free device. Full details at http://www.microsoft.com/canada/offers-promotions/mango-app-challenge/

My first thought was, “I wonder if I could write a couple apps.”, followed by “I wonder if fart apps count?” Check my Twitter stream, I did actually ask that question.

The rules actually say those apps have to be quality applications. Which means, no fart apps which was Joey’s battle cry when he worked for the Empire.

Which means, probably no developing for me. Fart apps, flashlight, I probably could do. Something like Beiber smash, might be tricky but do-able. Quality, not a chance you’ll see anything by me.

But if you can develop, and actually make something good, go to http://www.microsoft.com/canada/offers-promotions/mango-app-challenge/ and take the challenge.
