by Windows Azure Team via Windows Azure on 8/31/2011 2:59:00 PM

Today Wade Wegner has released the Windows Azure Toolkit for Android, along with significant updates to the toolkits for Windows Phone and iOS. You can get the toolkits here:

• Windows Phone
• iOS (iPhone & iPad)
• Android

The purpose of these toolkits are to make it easier for mobile device developers – across device platforms – to build applications that use Windows Azure to host services. Some of the more notable updates are:

• Initial release of the Windows Azure Toolkit for Android, including native libraries (for storage and authentication), a sample application, and unit tests.
• Support for SQL Azure in the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone.
• Full support for Windows Azure Toolkits for Visual Studio 1.4 and Windows Developer Phone Tools 7.1 RC.
• Shipped the full source code to BabelCam, which is now available in the Windows Phone Marketplace (for Zune).
