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.

 silverlight-flash

A nice post via bill comparing “Silverlight on Nokia – What It Means for Flash Lite Developers” Bill gives some thoughts and views how a developer can be effected or may be intrested using new technologies and what kind of strategy Adobe is applying to promote Flash lite. a long way to go.

Some of the points:

If you’re a mobile developer or business decision maker considering any technology for mobile development then there are questions that you should have:

  • What’s the addressable market supporting the technology
  • What’s the designer/developer workflow
  • What tools do I need
  • Can I leverage my skills or do I need to learn new ones
  • How do I distribute my content
  • Is the content inside/outside the mobile browser
  • What’s the developer community like
  • Can I reuse assets from the web
  • Can this technology allow me to have a multi-screen experience

Well!! i love Adobe Flash lite and it really gives me more ways to express my creativity which i love it 🙂 not sure how silverlight will be promising to me!!
