Mishkin from the Dirty Developer blog has posted a nice article comparing the main differences and similarity between the Windows Phone 7 and Android development platforms. He build a simple unit converter for WP7 and Android 2.2 to show you exactly how things look like on the inside:

It will take a while to get used to migrating from Android + Eclipse to Windows Phone 7 + Microsoft Visual Studio + Expression Blend but in the end it is a much smoother development experience.

Head over to his blog to download the source code and read his full comparison between Visual Studio + Blend and Eclipse.
