  25. What’s missing?

  26. Possible improvements for demo • Categories of opinions • Subscribing to categories for push notification • Settings page for push notification • Saving state for current opinions • Orientation support • Integration with authentication & membership • Integration with Twitter • Error handling  • ...

  27. Tips, Tricks and Lessons Learned • Using behaviors and create your own • Createdesign time data • Application execution lifecycle and tombstoning • Accessing location consumes battery: store location • CameraCaptureTask and testing on device: WPConnect tool • Push notification, for raw notification make sure to notifiy user visually

  28. How things will be easier with “Mango” • Tooling • Visual Studio tooling for Location • Profiler • Tombstoning changes • Silverlight 4 • Tile improvements for resetting tile • Tile and toast deep linking to a detailed opinion • Performance improvements • More at http://live.visitmix.com
