I'm with the above suggestion.

Please please consider unlocking developers phones for free, I plan to get a windows phone device because I can program on it with something I already know and like, but paying 99$ just for my tests is not an option.

Happy to pay for that if I'll make a program that is good enough to be distributed.

Blog Post: Are you ready to deploy Windows 7?

Julie Lary (Microsoft) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:31:00 GMT

Last week, Microsoft released Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) beta at their Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC). Monday, I received noticed that I needed to install it on my work system. Like most updates, it took minutes to install and I was back to work-as-usual.

For many enterprises, the release of SP1 beta is the green flag to begin testing and deploying Windows 7. If you’re an IT professional now is the time to start mastering the intricacies of installing and maintaining Windows 7 systems.

A great way to start is by signing up to receive free Microsoft Press online book chapters about Windows 7. Chapters are from “Windows 7 Step by Step,” “Windows 7 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant,” and six other books. Learn more and sign up to receive Windows 7 chapters.

If you’re currently certification in Windows XP or 2000, you might want to e xplore your options for growing your Windows skills. If you’re new to certification or simply want to discover training resources, visit the Windows 7 training portal.

And don’t forget to visit the many resources on the Windows Client TechCenter and TechNet such as this recently published Windows 7 Application Compatibility List for IT Professionals.

Which goes back to my original point. This is kind of silly. Why should I have to pay anything before I'm ready to submit an app to the marketplace? If nobody's going to review my app, it shouldn't matter whether I've paid or not. Once I'm ready to submit an app, I can definitely see the advantage. As others have noted, testing on the emulator doesn't really give the full experience and doesn't necessarily show how well the app will perform on actual hardware. Even trying to test multi-touch on the emulator is kind of difficult. Add in the slow response of the emulator and it's even harder to test for some people. I'd really like to see this policy changed - let people unlock their phones for Development, but only require payment when they submit an app.

I've confirmed this and unfortunately not. The ability to unlock a device is part of the marketplace functionality. It won't be possible to load apps onto a/your device unless you register with the marketplace

I would go the route of staying in touch with those you trust
and providing good insight for each other. Then, I assume
you would want to find a job, but they want you to show them
what you can offer them with your new qualifications, not just
relying on your old achievements and such.

Also, let them know this through the use of the logos on your Resume'
as this is actually what they suggest you do. You don't need to be overly
fancy or anything to get the message across.

I doesn't hurt to express all of your strengths and make them apparent to the people you are about
to work with in any IT position. They want you to be fully certifiable, Right? Well, then prove to them
in some way that you can do this ten fold.

Good Luck!

Hi. The content is there. Download the zip file for session 4 from here and it is in section 4.2. I ended up calling it AlbumShower, but it works in the same way.
