Microsoft Wants Android App Developers

App GuyMicrosoft releases an Android version of its API mapping tool-- a package for Android developers to help them  learn Windows Phone 7-- which the company hopes will help boost WP7 app numbers by making the porting process simpler

The company already released something similar for iPhone developers last April.

The package consists of the API mapping tool itself and “Windows Phone 7 Guide for Android Application Developers”, a Microsoft whitepaper on the subject. 

Also offering help is Microsoft's own "App Guy", aggregating online developer discussions to answer questions on Windows Phone development. Will this herald a new flood of Windows Phone 7 development?
