I was wondering if anyone knew how to update the mms settings via code on a windows 7 phone. I have seen some apps out there that update your settings but those were for the HD7 phone. Any suggestions our appreciated.
I highly doubt there are any non-OEM third party apps that did that. The app you saw must've been from HTC themselves, who have more access than standard thiry party developers.

I would like my Windows store app (Windows 8 + Windows rt) to integrate real time voice conversation with other users of the app (aka VoIP). Are there any in-app communication solution or SIP client for this?
I know about a solution for Windows Phone 8, but I'm looking for a solution for Windows 8/RT:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj206983.aspx
I would be able to host a server (FreeSwitch for instance) and to pay for a product if needed. My conditions is it integrates in a Windows store app (compatible WinRT).
I am pretty sure you've already looked over the Windows 8 Real-time communication sample!?
If you've already checked it out please share your experience with it. I am trying to use it for a video-chat functionality of my app, but this sample is "not very mature" - to put it mildly. Good luck with your voip solution!
I planned to create a Windows 8 Store App but reluctantly had to switch to desktop application. I found that Windows 8 Store Apps fail to detect second screen, which is necessary for me.
The intention still is to mimic the behaviour of Windows Store App as much as possible. Partly to educate myself but also to use a modern nice design.
I use WPF with very similar design (App bars, Navigation bar, snappy await-async pattern, etc)
Now I come to the point where I need to store settings!
I would really like to use the very convenient central storage available through Microsoft Live login. Is that possible even if I don't have Windows Store App?
Clients might be Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Can I make the user login to Microsoft Live and use these facilities?
Many WinRT APIs are available from desktop applications, in addition to Windows Store applications. Windows.Storage.ApplicationData appears to support desktop apps. Look under the "Requirements" section in the documentation:
Minimum supported client: Windows 8 [Windows Store apps, desktop apps]
Someone at Intel posted on how to use WinRT APIs from desktop apps. The post is from September, 2012, and the screenshots appear to be for an older version of the MSDN documentation. Just keep that in mind.
Dave Bennett of Microsoft has a useful blog post which will introduce you to roaming your app data.
I may have misunderstood you, but I think what I mention above is what you want instead of using the Live Connect APIs.
I realize it's been asked countless times whether iPhone apps can be built in Windows and that the simple answer is no, with workarounds such as using VM or even something like Dragon SDK which requires the app to be written in C/C++, but I would like to build an app using Objective C.
My question is can the code for an iPhone app not be developed on a Windows computer, uploaded to a remote Mac computer, compiled on the Mac, and then downloaded back to Windows to install via iTunes? I don't want to buy a Mac mini to get my feet wet with iPhone development, but I don't want to be limited to writing an HTML 5 app using Phone Gap or similar.
If nothing else, wouldn't it be possible to develop the app directly on a remote / virtual Mac using a remote desktop connection?
If either of these are possible, does anyone know of a company offering such a service? If not, what would be a likely reason that it hasn't been created? It seems like there would be enormous demand.
Perhaps http://www.macincloud.com/ is what you are looking for.
I believe what you're trying to do is not possible but how about MonoTouch ?

Using .NET on Windows technologies to develop iPhone and other apps ?
I am new to Windows Phone applications and Windows 8 Apps. All I know about windows 8 is the metro style and the news that it will run on the PCs, tablets and Phones as well.
I want to get started developing an App for an expected Windows 8 Phone Device. All the guideline I found for windows 8 is for developing the apps for windows 8 tablets or PCs (not phones). Here is a link for windows 8 SDK, I am looking at.
Should I start developing a regular windows 8 app (for tablet) assuming that it will run on the expected upcoming windows 8 phone device?
Does anyone have any idea?
Microsoft has made very few announcements so far on the developer story for Windows Phone 8. What little news has been announced can be viewed in the Windows Phone Summit video here:
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Windows-Phone/Summit
The only statement made so far regarding development across the two platforms is that applications developed using C# and Xaml will have "high compatibility" between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.
Windows Phone 8 is due out later this year so hopefully development tools aren't far off. If you want to get started right away I recommend you try your hand at developing a Windows 8 application using C# and Xaml. That should catch you up to speed and get you prepared for Windows Phone 8.
You can get started at http://dev.windows.com
I think there is nothing really official about the development of applications windows phone 8 (except as regards the integration of the new features of future devices). Everything in internet indicates that one of the reasons that drove microsoft to update wp7 is precisely the desire to converge development for windows 8 with development for windows phone8. This convergence will be visual (for example the pivot layout will be characterized by a single page horizontally scrollable similar to windows 8 apps) and under the hood (with a kernel very similar).
The enhanced hardware will perform more complex operations (thus tending toward user experience similar to pc).
What we also know that in some metro style app in actual microsoft store someone found comments in the source related to the integration of the app in windows phone 8.
What I can suggest then is to develop your app for windows 8. In all likelihood make the porting to Windows phone 8 will be simple (different sized images for backgrounds, different icons, but side code probably will not change anything).
I know this is repeated question. I read almost all the threads , googled a lot and became more confused. I read Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit (MMIT) is not used anymore and Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit is widely used .
Requirement:Develope and publish websites for mobile phones.
Envoirnment:VS2008/.net 3.5
I am new to mobile web application development. I want to know how to start ,what are the frameworks i should know/download,sample websites or articles..
Thanks,

If you want to create web applications for mobile devices using microsoft technologies check out this site:

It has simple how-to.....
If you're going to invest in a new skill, I'd focus on iPhone and Android development - they're far more widespread than windows mobile.
