How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)

Awesome. Daughter got quite excited when she saw dress pal!
(Why is Grantaphone not available in the uk?)
I love the app "Lyrics" by musixmatch.
Coolest feature: Looks at your WP7 collection and gives you the lyrics! You can play songs and it also links directly to Zune so if you have a Zune pass... you're golden!
@Ian2: Grantophone should be available in the UK. I think you may be spelling it incorrectly when searching for it? There's an 'o' in the middle instead of an 'a'.
To be honest, there is a huge gap in quality apps and games on windows phone and the ones that are there are very expensive compaired to their smartphone rivels. 69p for angry birds on the iOS, free on Android and then £2.99 on the Windows Phone.
Coupled with having to pay for xbox live games again, such as ilomilo, on the windows phone (for £3.99) that were previously brought on the xbox live arcade (800ms points) I don't see how this is a intergrated experiance. Feels more like an expensive experiance.
I love the windows phone though, the interface once you get used to it much better then any others.
Grantophone
@kotsoft clicking the link loads the zune software and it says can't open, not for your location. I'm in the UK.
Check out Blueprint. It's a free game for solving graph theory puzzles with 100 levels. This type of game is very popular on the IPhone and Android (Connect'M and UConnect). Now we can play it on the WP7 too.

A niner recently created this SkyDrive app named MetroSky. http://www.windowsphone.com/de-DE/apps/e78fb754-99b9-4d2c-9528-7a75cbb512ef
He even posted all of the code for it on his website for educational purposes and to help out the developer community.

I see that the link to Grantophone doesn't go anywhere. Here's the correct link.

Most of the Kotsoft software is amazingly fun.
I see that Grantophone has been updated since the last time I saw it and I'm not he first person who wishes he would add MIDI over WiFi/UDPsupport to it.
I wish C9 would interview some small WP7 developers like Kotsoft.
The Grantophone interface has some similarities to the Haken Continuum. http://www.hakenaudio.com/Continuum/.
