The Windows Phone interface has been designed to make it as easy as possible for users to get to the information they need in the applications they use. In the upcoming release of Windows Phone, codenamed "Mango," there are improvements that will allow developers to provide a richer integration in the home-screen experience. In todays episode of The Knowledge Chamber, my guest is Thomas Fennel, who is responsible for Push Notifications as well as the Live Tile support that developers will be using on Windows Phone Mango. He provides a quick demo of some of the features that application developers can now access, as well as discussing some of the details that developers need to consider when they set up their apps to use these features. Here are some links to additional information on the topics discussed in this episode: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402535(VS.92).aspx Windows Phone Development Documentation
