Here's an interesting look at how User interfaces (or user experiences) come to fruition, and how

Unfortuntately I can not view the video here at work, but I look forward to watching it at home. (If I am mis-informed then I guess you can safely ignore the following...)

It is disappointing that this wound up being built on top of IE. The Silverlight runtime deserves to exist outside of the browser (the Moonlight people have this right), escpecially on embedded devices.

It wasn't until January of this year that the CE team finally shook out a bunch of issues with IE 6 on the device ("This update addresses a number of Internet Explorer issues.", http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/8/E/C8EF1D9E-7B41-431D-9F91-BC5E7FB58AE4/Windows%20Embedded%20CE%206.0_Update_090131_2009M01.htm). This was literally *years* after CE started using IE 6.

Here's hoping there are no new problems introduced in the new browser version (as this would severely limit the usefulness of this technology). Restarting the browser because of memory usage, etc. is something people are willing to live with even on the desktop, but I doubt this is the case for a phone's primary UI.

Very cool WPF-looking stuff, though not much explanation of the technology behind things apart from not being sandboxed (sounds promising).

Looking forward to more info about what's under the hood.

What should we be keeping and eye out for when this eventually gets released? WPF for Windows CE? I'm really excited to try this out in a WinCE image.
