XDA-Developers have developed quite a reputation of bringing good news and valuable hacks for us. Just to build on that , they have shared the official Windows Phone 7 Series development documentation which is quite a significant once since it confirms some of the rumors (multi-tasking for starters)which we discuss after the jump.

Here are the points worth noticing from the document for the upcoming Windows Phone 7:

Supports multi-tasking
Silverlight will be used to develop the UI.
XNA Framework will be used for developing games.
Will have services that will provide Access to cloud based service which includes Windows Azure, Windows Live for storage and notification purposes.
Multi-tasking is supported and has no limitation in the number of processes it will run.
Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend will be the development tools.

The good thing here is the fact that since Silverlight is used, we are rest assured to get a sexy looking UI. XNA Framework support indicates that Xbox Games will be coming your way which is one more reason to get all excited about the upcoming Windows Mobile OS.
