Peter Torr and Application Multi-Tasking on Windows Phone "Mango"

The Windows Phone interface has been designed to make it as easy as possible for users to get to the information they need in the applications they use. In the upcoming release of Windows Phone, codenamed "Mango," there are improvements that will allow developers to provide a richer integration in the home-screen experience.
In today's episode of The Knowledge Chamber, my guest is Thomas Fennel, who is responsible for Push Notifications as well as the Live Tile support that developers will be using on Windows Phone Mango. He provides a quick demo of some of the features that application developers can now access, as well as discussing some of the details that developers need to consider when they set up their apps to use these features.
Here are some links to additional information on the topics discussed in this episode:
Push notification is attracting features but it also ask for more battery consumption. The design should always consider both the frequently update and the battery consumption at the same time.
I think this is awesome, Thomas is very good speaker
and knows his subject.
@Jesse_Ahn: Excellent point. You can learn some of the new things we do to ensure this is the case in my MIX11 talk above.
Love these mango vids! If any microsofties are looking for a fun mango project, would love to see a telnet client for wp7 mango showing off both sockets support and the rich text control... Hehe
Not too free with Live Tile please. As an user, I like certain things in fixed places, so I don't have to hunt down the clues. You know, like, if file name is not always below the icon in Windows, it is quite hard to use.
