9:39	[Comment From MaxMax: ] Should developers be working on apps for windows 7 now or should we wait until we see a demand?
9:39	Hilary Pike: broken heart for when you’re ready to get rid of an item on the front – demo replacing himself with his wife … aww

9:40	alex_norcliffe: Hokey dokey, here comes the good stuff #mix10 #wps7 #silverlight #mimecloud

9:40	HilaryP: RT @globalgeeknews: Its Windows Phone 7 Series time! Join the #mix2010 keynote live blog and find out the big news: http://bit.ly/cAHRKu #MicrosoftSI
9:40	ReadyDesigns: #mix10 Keynote: Sketchflow player lets sketches become interactive, function like the real deal.

9:40	Tom Ziegmann: @Max – That’s an interesting question. I personally would start developing now. Today Microsoft is launching developer tools for Windows Phone. Will provide more as soon as we know. @Joe, @Jeremy, what do you both think?
9:41	Jeremy Bray: @Max I will be developing now. The longer my apps can be available, the more market I can grab with them. The fewer apps that are available, the better odds I have of getting my app noticed and not overlooked in the thousands of other apps like with the iPhone.

9:41	Joe Osborne: @Max, I’d give it some time to wait for demand. Not sure how many early adopters we’ll be seeing. Might be a while until pre-orders start for Windows Phone 7 devices
9:43	Joe Osborne: However, I might become of those dastardly early adopters… This OS is just too sexy!

9:43	Tom Ziegmann: Showing off new feature in Windows Phone 7 calendar called "I’ll be late" Lets you email everyone telling them you’ll be late.
9:43	Jeremy Bray: As soon as Nextel gets one of these phones with Direct Connect, I will be moving to one of these phones from my Blackberry.

9:44	Joe Osborne: "I’ll be late" function in the calendar is brilliant! Perfect for someone like myself who’s all over the place
9:44	Hilary Pike: I’m always a few minutes late, love the ease of I’ll be late

9:44	Tom Ziegmann: Showing off "Hubs" in WP7
9:45	Tom Ziegmann: Hubs use design approach called panoramic experience. wider than the screen, so must scroll left or right to see more content

9:45	Jeremy Bray: I like the I’ll be late feature but not many people I have to meet with are as tied to their e-mail as I can be at times so I am not sure how helpful it will be for me.
9:46	Joe Osborne: @Hilary automatic trouble immunity! "Hey, I told you I was gonna’ be late" (waves WP7)

9:46	Jeremy Bray: The jump lists are nice for quickly getting to things like contacts. I wish the Zune HD had this for quickly getting to the music I want.
9:47	Tom Ziegmann: People view enables integrated experience for contacts. brings in phone info, social network info, and more

9:47	Tom Ziegmann: Can add people as Live Tiles to home screen and stay up to date with friends
9:47	Hilary Pike: @joe exactly, hope it’s as easy to provide other excuses on wp7

9:47	Jeremy Bray: Every Windows Phone 7 Series device is a Zune
9:47	Inferis: @zephyr2b also: do they expect *any* people who *haven’t* seen that demo at #mix10?

9:48	Joe Osborne: Every WP7 is a Zune by default, kind of expected, but nice to hear
9:48	Tom Ziegmann: Every Windows 7 Phone is a Zune, has the ability to access 3rd party services

9:48	Tom Ziegmann: Showing off Silverlight on the phone.
9:49	Joe Osborne: Oooh new stuf about to be shown… XNA??! Can’t wait!

9:49	Tom Ziegmann: Associated Press Mobile app being shown off. Developed by Archetype. Looks sexy in my opinion.
9:49	Joe Osborne: SIlverlight app, AP Mobile Experience – mobile news reader segmented by categories, headlines, shared stories

9:50	Tom Ziegmann: Features mutiple experiences. Photos, Videos, written stories. User focused. Can comment, digg stories, etc.
9:50	Jeremy Bray: A ford ad just popped up on top of the app. That wont be annoying at all…

9:50	Joe Osborne: Crawl ads will be the monetization (that a word?) model
9:50	Tom Ziegmann: Advertising enabled in 3rd party apps through Silverlight platform. To be expected.

9:51	Joe Osborne: three dimensional photo viewer? Super interactive news ingestion! Go!
9:52	Tom Ziegmann: Breaking News toast in app to allow users to jump directly to breaking news story. Very cool stuff for a news junkie like myself

9:52	Joe Osborne: What do you guys think of the crawl ad additions? Love it? Hate it? Gotta have the ads somewhere!
9:52	DijitaleWeb: Hmm démo live du nouveau windows phone 7, interface jolie mais qui prête à confusion. #mix10

9:52	windowsphone: RT @danielfe Windows Phone 7 Series has native support for Facebook and Twitter for your contacts #mix10 #wp7s
9:53	Joe Osborne: Hush Hush diary app by Jackson Fishmarket? We shall see…

9:54	Tom Ziegmann: Diary app has way to allow parents to "break in" animated cracked glass effect.
9:55	Joe Osborne: @Tom man, kids never get a break!

9:56	Tom Ziegmann: @Joe – As a "kid" I feel violated by that feature. Must find way to disable that feature.
9:57	[Comment From MaxMax: ] Parents breaking in to diaires…EVIL! 9:57 Max

9:57	kidsarttech: 디지털 일기 이네요 이게 잡지 개념으로….ㅎㅎ 참 #mix10
9:57	dovella: RT @pocketnowTweets: Hush Hush app–it’s a diary with a combo lock using capacitive touch! Nice! #WP7 #mix10

9:57	[Comment From Darren MSP IrelandDarren MSP Ireland: ] I haven’t got an ad yet, though I’m looking forward to it now, I feel left out
9:57	[Comment From Darren MSP IrelandDarren MSP Ireland: ] @Tom – Pin lock the phone on standby

9:57	Hilary Pike: totally, breaking into a diary seems scary for the writer
9:57	Tom Ziegmann: @Darren – Good point. Judging by that prototype that Joe is using, there is a camera on the front. Maybe could use facial recognition too.

9:58	Hilary Pike: coloring a photo on wp7, seems like a good pass-time
9:58	Joe Osborne: Photo editor in WP7 can manually add in original color to B&W photos! Neat stuff. Beats the Photoshop mobile app for sure..

9:59	Jeremy Bray: 3D game time!
9:59	Tom Ziegmann: Showing off XBox Live game called "The Harvest" 3D enabled game, showing off how powerful the platform is.

9:59	[Comment From Darren MSP IrelandDarren MSP Ireland: ] @ Tom – That is a wicked cool Idea! If you get to meet them this week, please suggest that!
