Hi Gustav -- Thank you for your reply. <<< Third-party apps means everything you install on the phone, including your own apps. >>> Do Silverlight apps get installed on the Windows Phone 7 as standalone apps? I didn't know that - and if so they are running in a "sandbox" with all the data (and files) available from Internet only? I guess IE and MS Office are implemented on Windows Phone 7 XNA or some other (unknown) kinds of apps? Or as Silverlight apps? Have you seen/heard that that "custom apps multi-tasking" will get soon supported on Windows Phone 7 by a near future Windows Phone 7 upgrade/service pack? <<< It's a pleasure to work with. >>> Do you mean to "play with"? :) Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 1 ??????? 2011 ?. 19:02 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application Hi Shamil Third-party apps means everything you install on the phone, including your own apps. As I understand it, the question is what apps do when you browse away from them? Do they pause/sleep, unload, or keep running? The review is correct. The IE Phone Edition is amazing. The Office apps are a little limited but who expects a full Office package on a phone. Not me. Also, the UI design is top notch. Very clean and well designed. It's a pleasure to work with. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 01-02-2011 01:08 >>> Hi Gustav -- I'm looking here for Windows Phone 7 OS features (it's not your device - just because I have found interesting review for Win Phone 7 OS and apps on this page) http://www.amazon.com/HTC-hd7-t-mobile-htc-locked/product-reviews/B004B3KANO /ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Here is one excerpt: "The built in applications like Office let you view/edit word documents, view/edit excel documents, view powerpoint presentations, view/edit onenote, outlook - view your email from multiple providers - hotmail, google, yahoo, any email provider - very intuitive and easy to use interface. Internet Explorer - optimized and is a really good browser now; pinch to zoom and scrolling in internet explorer works perfectly, loading pages is excellent and fast - no real faults at all with the new internet explorer. Music/Videos player is basically the zune interface - beautiful; manages all your videos and music here and if you have a zune pass you can listen to your music from right here - this works in the background too and you can play games and surf the web using this application in the background. " Sounds useful. But this is what I'm not sure I'm understanding properly: "- No multitasking for third party apps - we need the ability to multi-task and choose what we want running in the background. Some apps really do need multitasking. " What third party apps are they talking about? SIlverlight custom apps do come loaded from Internet - right? If so - once loaded they block all the other apps? Sounds strange. Or do they mean custom XNA apps? Thank you. -- Shamil Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 31 ?????? 2011 ?. 23:56 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Localizing Silverlight Business Application Hi Shamil The Phone Connect is only needed for running apps that stream video and the like. I have no specifics, sorry. WP7 apps are Silverlight only for "normal" apps or XNA for games and highly graphic apps. No WinForms. Thanks for the link. That seems relevant to study. Scott Gu is a good presenter. /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
