The future holds “an expanded definition of productivity where it’s not just about getting things done. It’s also about doing the right things, and doing them well and enjoying the process with other people in a very natural way.â€
In the video, Microsoft paints a world in which smartphones are about the size of a business card, and just about any surface you come into contact with has a touch-sensitive interface.

Windows Phone 7, an intuitive user interface, feel the experience :)
Go ahead and stare the user interface of the Windows Phone 7 Series deserves it. That’s the reaction of people at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona. This new holistic design system that brings together form and function based on key principles – informing every aspect of the phone.
I like the typography and clean intuitive rich User interface which creates the simplicity feeling and unrivaled mobile experience. With a holistic design that brings together web content, applications and services into a single view, phones worships you now, not the other way around.
I like to play with this phone in hand to see the real time experience and how the form factor and performance is?
What you think about it. I like to know your comments about your current phone User interface, are you really satisfied with what you have it?
Check out the above video to get a first-hand look at the latest Windows Phone 7 🙂

Don’t design for “mobile†– design for mobility
Adaptive Path’s Peter Merholz posted an article about “Don’t design for “mobile†– design for mobility”. We really need to understand that the essence of great mobile application design is understanding that a phone is always with you – not that its simply a smaller device.
Some of the points which a developer or designer should consider:
“What we’re realizing is that the key item of concern when designing for mobile is the context in which the device is used. What this means is that discussions of “PC†versus “mobile†are misguided, because we shouldn’t be focusing on the device. We are not designing for mobile — we’re designing for mobility. ”
“A key characteristic of mobility is that the environment around the user is dynamic — they’re walking, driving, on transit, in restaurants, theaters, offices, moving from place to place, context to context. Things around them are constantly changing. ”
It’s true that we’re missing big opportunities when we design for the device, and not for the context in which the device is being used!!
