In the September issue you will find (among the other great stuff) an article about Building Mobile User Experience:

However some constraints still arise from the context of use including small form factor, cross device support, information overload and content organization. In this article you will learn some of the best practices to build rich mobile experiences using the Microsoft platform and tools.“

I promise the next article is going to be more technical …

Bacardi La Fiesta is set to be the biggest end of summer party in London, featuring all kinds of hot contemporary acts with DJs, bands, and artists all performing live, plus Groove Armada!!

Best thing is that the concert will be video streamed live for free with more than 4 camera on the stage using Silverlight streaming technology!

The countdown to the concert has started…the same app will turn into a digital video console tonight. Don’t miss it!
