Agenda

• Phone Basics• Demo – Application Basics• Demo – Navigation• Demo – New Pivot & Panorama Controls• Demo – Application Lifetime• Demo – Launchers & Choosers• Demo – Hardware Interaction• Wrap up


Basics – Overview

• Due out for “Holiday 2010”– Hardware RTM’ed on 9/1/2010– Developer Tools RTM 9/16– Marketplace opens in “early October”

• Key Concepts– End-User Experience First– Marketplace– Hardware Specification– Development Platform

• Simpler than previous experiences• Silverlight 3+, XNA• Emulator or direct phone connection via

USB


Basics – Design

• Glance & Go• “METRO” Design

– Inspired by transportation systems, Xbox, Zune, Media Center

– Clean, light, full-bleed, low-chrome

• Experience– Home (Tiles)– Hubs


Basics – Hardware

Capacitive touch - 4 or more contact points

Sensors - A-GPS, Accelerometer, Compass, Light, Proximity

Camera - 5 mega pixels or more, flash required, camera button required

Multimedia - Common detailed specs, Codec acceleration

Memory - 256MB RAM or more, 8GB Flash or more

GPU - DirectX 9 acceleration

CPU - ARMv7 Cortex/Scorpion or better

Display - 800 WVGA / 480 HVGA

Hardware Buttons – Start, Search, Back


Basics – Silverlight Development• Windows 7 / Vista required

– No XP, no Server OS– C# only (VB released as CTP 9/23, no go-live)

• Silverlight 3+ phone-specific APIs– HW Integration

(Accelerometer, GPS, Camera, Microphone)– Hub Integration– Service Integration– Phone-specific navigation model– Not hosted in a browser window (no HTML Bridge)– Isolated storage – no quotas, no “Site”– Controls enhanced to support touch– Limited access to XNA assemblies from Silverlight
