The developers behind the superb USA Today have just shared their experience creating their first Windows Phone 7 application. Interestingly the app was developed in house by USA Today unlike most of the big names applications which are usually developed by contracted development houses.

My group is particularly proud of this launch because the app was conceived, designed and developed entirely in-house. The designers and developers on this project spent a lot of time trying to get our app to feel just right with the unique but compelling Windows Phone “Metro” interface. We think we got there and, in the process, became quite enamored with the platform. Who knows, there may be more apps coming soon on this platform ;-) .
