Hi Shamil With the limited amount of time available I've decided to stay off Android and iPhone and concentrate on WP7. Yes I know - lots of those units out there - but you have to focus. As for connecting the World, I think we've seen a lot of this during the last half year of so - for example, how the news from North Africa have spread all over within the hour. Smart phones do play a role as they always are at hand (literally) /gustav >>> mcp2004 at mail.ru 28-11-2011 18:40 >>> Hi Gustav -- > next week I'm attending a two-day course at Nokia > in programming these devices Good news! If you'll have opportunity to take brief notes on that course and share that notes here that would be very useful - just notes on what should be taken into consideration first of all when doing WP 7/7.5 development.... Thank you. -- Shamil P.S. I have just played a bit with my kid Samsung Galaxy Fit Android device (never had opportunity before to touch/play with Android devices or iPhones -I was very before several years in a row :)) - that Android technology is a very useful thing, no doubt - *now* this world is becoming really connected - would that help this World nations to understand better each other? - let's hope so... 28 ****** 2011, 21:24 ** "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk>: > Hi Shamil > > I've only played a little with it.

Did you have any experience with such development? (And my kid has just got Samsung Galaxy Fit with Android - Wi-Fi etc. included - it's also an amazing technology device...) > > Thank you. > > -- Shamil > > 28 ****** 2011, 20:19 ** "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk>: > > Hi Rocky and John et al > > > > Given my experience with Windows Phone 7 and the Metro design, Windows 8 on a tablet will be an iPad killer. > > > > Windows 8 and touch screens of any kind is the next step forward.
