Posted by Rob Lewis on 2010-10-18 8:29:00 AM

Toronto's Polar Mobile continues to rack up new clients and press. Yesterday the Globe and Mail reported that Microsoft has tapped the Canadian app developer to build a slew of new software for its newest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7.

The deal means that Polar will build Windows Phone versions of virtually all its existing 350 apps for BlackBerrys, iPhones, phones powered by Google’s Android operating system and other smart phones. The firm will also build Windows-compatible apps for other content providers that it signs up in the future.

For Microsoft, the contract means it can launch its new product with readily-available apps – Polar plans to have at least some of them completed by the time Windows Phone 7 handsets hit the market.
