yesterday morning, one guy from MS came to our site and introduced basic information about Phone 7
Honestly, nothing impressed me.
following are the key words:
Metro style
Phone 7 UI is inspired by metro guideboard. (supprised)
this is mean: phone 7 has his own UI style diffrence from IPhone's and Andriod's
whether end user will accept is or not, there are risk.(i like it)
Marketplace
like IPhone's AppStore
Cloud
Connect all devices through Cloud and can get/publish services from/to it.
devices connected to Cloud will be notified as soon as events generated.
C#
the programmes are running based on .net framework.
"there are capability that one .exe can running in Phone 7,XBox,Win7 at sametime without porting"
Social Network
intergrated with Facebook and Twitter.
(in chinese main-land, it's hopeless)
but there are good news to our developers. for example: we can develop app using C# and published it to 'Marketplace', that 's good chance to earn money or individual reputation. and not like IPhone, there are some obstacles to make it. for example: Object-C (strange to most of chinese developers), have one App PC( expensive ),Have one IPhone (very expensive). but this based on the Phone7's future and mainland's enviroment.
