The Melbourne BizSpark Windows Phone 7 Hands-on-labs is happening on Friday June 25th ( tomorrow ) and on June 26th and 27th there will be some Developer Workshop event. I have been invited to attend the event all thanks to Dave Glover ( Twitter ). I cant wait to get some hand on time with the elusive WP7.

Are any of out Aussie readers or WP7 developers attending the event ? If you will be attending the event I would love to meet you guys. Hit us up on twitter @1800PocketPC

Half tempted to try to get in myself, but assuming I don’t, my main interest is as a webdev.
What’s the browser like?
Is there any capacity to run sites like applications ala iPhone?
Likewise, if the apps are Silverlight, would they be compatible off-phone? If someone writes a nifty tool, can I run it in the Silverlight plugin?

Essentially, how easy would it be to make a webapp feel consistent with the rest of the device experience, and what capabilities the browser has available for such apps.

@Jeeves : From what I have gathered over the months about WP7 ( based on rumors and MS statements about WP7 ) IE Mobile on WP7 will be based on IE7, little bit of 8 and there are also rumors that IE Mobile updates will be independent of the core OS. so bug fixes and improvements can be rolled out faster. The browser is expected to handle most content on the web ( though initially there will be NO flash support )

Silverlight light apps should mostly be compatible ( but with features like the accelerometer and touch input on phone , while mouse and keystroke on PC ) not everything will work with the same code. But from what the dev community is saying its fairly easy to port silverlight web apps to WP7. ATM the emulator for WP7 can handle the Silverlight apps for windows phone 7.
