In the wake of webOS, the first competitor has stepped up and offered to help ease the pain being felt by webOS developers. Microsoft’s Brandon Watson, who is the director of developer experience for Windows Phone, has reached out to published webOS developers offering everything from free phones to training and dev tools. For those interested, you can ping him on Twitter @BrandonWatson. While you are at it, give our Windows Phone sibling site a follow @everythingwm.

Makes sense to me. Windows Mobile will be keen to be the secured ‘no.3′ in the market & no one more dedicated out there than webOS developers to help it along
