It will include capacitive touch input, sensors like GPS and a camera, and will require Windows 7/Vista to develop for using Visual Studio 2010 Express and Expression Blend 4. Developing for the Windows Phone involves using XNA for games, Silverlight 3+ APIs, and integrating with phone hardware and services. Navigation in apps can use tiles and hubs like the home screen.
