Jon's day job is designing the "communication experience." Jon's made a lot of observations about the thousands of apps we see submitted to Windows Phone and had a lot of great points to share about what constitutes an outstanding app. Here are a lot of other great resources to look through as you think about Windows Phone application design: Windows Phone Official User Experience Guidelines Jeff Wilcox's "Metro" Design Guide for Developers Windows Phone Design Presentations 2010 Design Day Event Metro Style Design Designing Apps    App Design Best Practices   Prototyping in Blend   Windows Phone Design Assets PSD Templates    PNG Grid (Useful in Blend)  SDK (contains Blend and icons – see prototyping video above) Windows Phone Tool Kit (contains extra controls for prototyping) ... and finally, a great piece by Will Faught on how to use the animated transitions in the Toolkit. Questions?

I have a dream that one day transitions in 3rd party apps will be as smooth as those in 1st party apps.

Simple IS hard. It took me 6 published apps to finally "get it". Now I really LOVE making things as simple as possible.  Cool

Larry needs to talk a lot less, please! Would really like to hear the person being interviewed speak without so many interruptions and diversions. Larry is making it very difficult for the speaker to get a point across, and very difficult to for the listener to weed out his randomizations to follow a thought!

THANK YOU

My thoughts exactly.

It's an interview, not a conversation.

No disrespect Larry, good to hear your input, but perhaps when the interviewee has always completed his whole story.
