Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools have shipped and now the actual devices are around the corner. For a good start, Microsoft organizes a series of events in different parts of the United States to expand the general knowledge about the platform, as well as give WP7 developers some tips and help regarding application development for the new mobile system. In some locations, actual Windows Phone 7 devices will be present, so attendees will be able to test their applications on a real device, if the event has this planned.
