Firefox on WP7 – if they get the NDK

I am guessing the folks from Mozilla is excited about WP7 and not too happy about the iPhone. Rob Sayre recently posted an open letter to Microsoft requesting to open up the NDK ( Native Development Kit ) for developers
Well, you have this new Windows Phone thing going on. Tufte slammed it a little, and maybe the cropped UI is kind of busted. I’ll give it a shot, though. I think a head to head comparison makes you look pretty good. It makes the iPhone UI look like it’s made of ugly jelly beans. I’m kind of surprised–the allegedly cool Cocoa Touch stuff is reminding me of 90s Unix window managers. Oh wait, that’s what it is. haha.

So, anyway, you guys don’t have an NDK for Windows Phone. But I think there’s an opening here for everyone to do what they’re best at. I suggest you clone the Android NDK API, and add some stuff to make it better. Microsoft rocks at that. We’ll port Firefox, and I’m sure a bunch of games will come along too. It’s gonna be awesome.

If any of our readers who are developers are looking to voice your opinion on the subject head over to blog.mozilla.com. I am no developer, so if anyone can enlighten me … what are the advantages of developing with the NDK as opposed to the SDK that was released earlier ??
