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)

Hi Gustav --

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.

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...

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...)
