I am interviewing Ron Pessner this Thursday to talk about Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Live. Do you have any questions you would like me to ask him? Thanks,
Tina

In geeks we trust ...
We want to use the XBOX live 'turn by turn' playing for the WP7 version of our 'Shove Halfpenny' game (http://apps.webservicesuk.com/shove)*.
Would you ask Ron when he anticipates that this service will be available for small dev shops like ours in the UK?
Thanks!
* NB This is an early desktop version of the game I have developed for WP7 but should suffice to give an idea of what we are trying to achieve.

What opportunities does Ron forsee in the future for integration between Kinnect / XBOX Live and WP7 (if any?)

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.
I figured this time I'd eschew technical questions which I can find the answer to online, so...
"With respect to Microsoft's gaming strategy: what's your biggest regret?"

Windows Phone 7 has a built-in accelerometer, so if the platform weren't so locked down we could write software that runs on WP7 devices to use accelerometer data to act as a kind of Wii controller, and then using the phone's built-in radio (with lots of hacking) get the Xbox to recognise it as a wireless controller, or use the USB support as a wired controller.
...dream on

XBox live on the phone runs on XNA 4.0 , but really good Xbox blockbuster games are not made on top of the XNA framework. How can you convince big studios like EA , Bungie to adapt the XNA platform?
Also, is the any video conferencing over Xbox Live? Or sending voice messages to friends via phone?

Will XNA 4 eventually add api support for Windows 7 and touch capabilties. I know Microsoft is pushing Windows 7 as their tablet/slate OS and I would love to be able to port or write games for these devices. WPF just recently added more robust touch support and I am hoping the same will happen with XNA please make me happy and say it is coming! And soon : )

- What advantages does WP7 have over dedicated portable gaming devices like the PSP or the Nintendo DS?
- Is it possible to create a game on WP7 that communicates with other nearby players using Bluetooth?

Why is zune support dropped with XNA 4 , the zune h hardware can surely handle it! I know it is a nish product, but still seems like the 'apps' promise for Zune HD was really deliverd.
How can i get my XNA Game to the phone ? Is an app in the app list downloaded from the Phone Marketplace ? or is it a Xbox Live Arcade title downloaded from the Xbox marketplace ?
