Silverlight for Mobile Demo 9/9 – Windows Vista Mobile

gisardo — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:30:33 GMT

I think that everybody here agree that Windows Vista is the best Microsoft operating system…from a UX point of view

For this reason, I was curious to see how it would look like inside a PocketPc with a small screen. The result? It’s pretty obvious!! You cannot take an application developed for desktop…and make it run (with the same look and feel) on a mobile device. Mobile application are not just smaller application!

Silverlight for Mobile Demo 5/9 - Gesture

gisardo — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:17:00 GMT

This is probably the demo where I've seen more interest from MIX attendees. With a bit of logic (coded in Javascript) I can understand most common user gesture...and react accordingly.

Silverlight for Mobile Demo 4/9 - Menu Carousel

gisardo — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:58:00 GMT

Personally I don't really like using carousel when we deal with a lot of information; however it comes in handy for a few items, like a menu. And it looks great on a small device!

Silverlight for Mobile Demo 3/9 - Speakers FishEye

gisardo — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:00:00 GMT

The third demo showcase how to use the fish-eye control inside a small screen device; by dragging and dropping the balloon from the lower to the upper area it's possible to dynamically filter users' pictures.

Silverlight for Mobile Demo 2/9 - Sessions List

gisardo — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:01:00 GMT

The most common control for a mobile device is out of any doubt the List. In this scenario I'm enumerating the sessions of the MIX conference, giving to the user the feature to filter them by audience (Technical, Creative or Business) or by day. Moreover, by a gesture of the finger, it's possible to visualize the detail of each track.
