A very strong kickoff for the Windows Phone 7 App. Store August 8, 2010 11:53
If you’re a developer on the .NET platform and the only way you have to make money is to invest your time in developing an app., the Windows Phone 7 MarketPlace could be your gold rush. Why? Because the MarketPlace will open with 90 000 potential customers. Yes, Microsoft just announced that all fulltime employees will be getting a free Windows Phone 7 when the device is released. So if you are among the first to have an application in the MarketPlace, you have a strong chance to make money. The rumor is that 1 million devices will be sold by Christmas. Even if it’s 500 000 sold, that’s still a chance to make a lot of money with your own application that you can test on a device at the DevTeach bootcamp before the stores open!

If you are into this new gold rush, you must check out the DevTeach Windows Phone 7 Boot Camp. It’s 3 days of training presented in two days in 4 cities. Colin Melia will have a device on site and if you’ve already started an application, you’ll be able to test it on the device during the Boot Camp. Check out the details of this boot camp at this link.
