We are constantly being asked by our users where is the support for Windows Phone 7. The purpose of this post to give an explanation on why we don’t support WP yet.

There are two problems with this:

1. The current WP 7 browser (which is a modified IE9) simply doesn’t give us the possibility to support the core mobiscroll functionality (At least that is what we saw in the emulator). We’re really looking forward to Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 in general, because packed with IE10 it should be all we need. The latest entries in Microsoft’s OS portfolio running on phones as well as tablets are being rolled out in the next couple of weeks, so we’re really excited about it.
2. To really optimize mobiscroll for Windows 8 and WP8 we’d need to get our hands on some devices. There is so much you can see when using the SDK emulator, or event using the deskop IE10. Certain things need to be figured out when testing and using real devices.
   Mobiscroll being an Open Source project and developed in our free time we’re reaching out to our users and the community.
   If you have the possibility, or know someone who does and would like to support us in making mobiscroll on WP a reality, donate devices and pass this message on. We’re also looking for partner companies who provide platforms (hardware and/or software) for developers who can help us make mobiscroll better.

Contact us with questions!

To summarize it, we’re really looking forward to WP8 and Windows 8. And we hope with them coming out, and with the help from the community we can make mobiscroll happen on this platform!
