compare to the iPhone 4 and Android devices <\/a>like the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G, the mobile space looks like it could get really interesting this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft has a relatively large presence at the Internet Week NY HQ, with its Microsoft Lounge, and today they put the lounge to good use with a presentation about Windows Phone 7. The presentation was actually given by Archetype, an app developer that built the Associated Press app for the upcoming phone OS.<\/p>\n
While the discussion did get into some specifics about building the app, and how simple it can be for some people, there was a lot of talk about the OS design and features. There was even a Windows Phone 7 phone present, but more on that a bit later. The developers talked a lot about the overall “Metro” design that is implemented in WP7. Those familiar with the Zune HD have already seen a portion of Metro. It features white text on a black background for lists, as well as a theme of panoramas for apps. Rather than just scrolling down, or being on page, apps are encouraged to be designed to have several screens, with each of them “bleeding” into the next. The effect makes the OS look sleek and modern compared to some other phones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6840],"tags":[3497,3501,1374,130,3037,3538],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12941"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12941"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12973,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12941\/revisions\/12973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
