The best way to learn a new technology is by digging into it and getting your hands dirty. After hearing a lot about the new Windows Phone7 framework and the Windows Marketplace I decided to get it a shot. As a result Thumb-Speed was born. With the success observed in the Windows Marketplace, I decided to build it for Android as well. So now I have Thumb-Speed available in Android as well as Windows marketplace. Currently looking into the iPhone environment.
