The Discussion

• 

  Very interesting subject !  Where can I get a video or/ and white paper of this session?

  Thank you very much for your support

  Hi Gilles,
  
  the video of the session will be available after PDC
  I don't want to anticipate anything about the content but...expect A LOT of demos
  
  In the meantime, if you are looking for a Mobile UX whitepaper, have a look at https://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc964299.aspx
  
  Ciao!

  Hey Giorgio,
  
  I'm struggling with a choice of technologies for a mobile ui and was wondering if silverlight mobile or silverlight mobile2 was planning on adopting a model like Adobe Air where it is less dependent on the browser and can run as a standalone application.  I'd like to build my UI in Silverlight (for obvious reasons) but i need to write it so that the app can run in detached mode (no connection).  Any thoughts on this or any guidance you could give me?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Patrick

  Thanks

  Was also wondering if there is going to be support for native mobile Silverlight/WPF applications that run outside of the web-browser or will support be added through an embedded WebBrowser control?

  Would be nice to see mobile OEM’s supporting hardware acceleration of both Silverlight and DirectX mobile to enable a very rich interactive user experience.

  How about a little background on how this will run on the Symbian Phone? How are you getting round the use of the compact framework?

  It looks great - but these demos aren't that far away from those shown at Mix 07 (Silverlight 1) and Mix 08 (with the same "announcement" of Silverlight for mobile then -Amit Chopra: "The wait is finally over, we have Silverlight for Windows Mobile").  I have no doubt that it is on it's way but the timing of a Jan CTP is frustrating for those wanting to start building apps with it as soon as possible.  I guess that this is all tied to the Windows Mobile 7 release (which was deafening in it's silence at this PDC) and  I am still hoping Microsoft will surpise us with some announcement about both before the new year, but I think this looks less and less realistic all the time.  Meanwhile Android gets an early release date in the uk, and IPhone continues to grow...

  It's already the end of January 09. Where's the CTP? A word of advice... invest less on pro-Vista ads and more on the developers who can convince their employers that solutions like Silverlight are cost-effective to create, deploy and support. For the past 4 years, I've passed on using WM because it has been missing something like Silverlight 2. Primarily for finger-touch applications. And now, my users (thousands) all use other mobile OSes. I am puzzled at the fact that MS doesn't understand that developers have a huge influence on the market, albeit one organization at a time. Wake up... release the CTP ASAP!

  Now it's June and I still cannot find the Silverlight for Windows Mobile CTP.... where can I find it ?

  And another question. For offline scenarios, can I persist data to a local storage?
