You can see AAS chief Rafe confirming the details. Some other tweets below from WP devs. Microsoft do have their own official programmes on getting devices out to developers – whether developers on other platforms, or budding developers just starting out.
I totally agree with giving away products for this purpose. They’re a great way of getting your product in the limelight (these don’t have to be devs, they can be online personalities), and more importantly now, as a tool for creating applications for your ecosystem. Nokia has also been very helpful in providing devs devices, be it some S^3 handsets given away free, or more recently, the N950 for MeeGo Harmattan development.
Cheers Just Visiting for the tip!

i think it will lure entry level and rookies developers.
yeah that’s right Nokia and Microsoft
abandon the Symbian developer community out of this !
Sarcasm aside i totally want one !!
Any serious developer doesn’t need to be lured with a free device that’s the reason I barely use homebrew apps .. They are usually crap.
Some developers don’t start serious development
but they become serious (after exploring own potential ) in some time
there are some pretty good examples out there
such as cyagonmod (now Samsung owned),pico brothers etc!
just saying app development may not start seriously for homebrew developers but there are some developers whoes apps do kick off in a huge way and in turn change these devs
Every developer should be important to a company!
