• It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
• You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.

• 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.

Dmitry Lyalin, my co-host on the Connected Show, recently developed a Windows Phone 7 application for Leo Laporte’s This Week In Tech (TWiT) network. The application recently reached as high as #2 on the Top Rated Apps list in the marketplace!

Dmitry spoke at the January 2011 meeting of the New York City Silverlight Meetup about his experience developing this application.  Dmitry walked folks through the phone tool experience, how he developed the TWiT application, and the challenges he faced.

Revealed in his talk were several tips, tricks, and "gotchas" every Windows Phone developer will want to know about.

Luckily for you, we were able to record this presentation and make it available for your viewing pleasure here on Channel 9!
