Recent rumors suggest that Windows Phone 8 devices will be arriving in the market in September in order to compete with the imminent release of the next iPhone. These reports also suggest that Microsoft has started handing out Windows Phone 8 devices to a select group of Windows Phone VIP developers.But what about the non-VIP developers ? Well it seams that they may get their hands on the Windows Phone 8 SDK as early as September 7.
The WP8 SDK has already leaked, but we would advise developers to hold out for the official release unless you want to take a chance with leaked software.
With Nokia World scheduled for September 5th and the Microsoft TechEd conference scheduled between September 11 – 14 th it wont be surprising to see Microsoft release the SDK around that time.
