Application bar) Navigation APIs, Launchers, Choosers Animation Web-services Cloud services (push notifications) Storage

Metro Design – Super cool design http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2011/03/metro-design-guide-v1/ http://crocusgirl.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/windows-phone-7-design-notes-part1-metro-res

ources/ New UI controls

Pivot (“Tab Control” for the Phone, Take tab panels and “smear them horizontally”, All panels are same width) & Panorama (Panoramic background with “views”, Each panel can be a different width)

Silverlight Toolkit (ContextMenu, DatePicker, TimePicker, ToggleSwitch, WrapPanel, GestureListener, etc)

Application’s lifetime - Single Application Focus Application closes when interrupted by any other application 4 Application Events (Launching, Closed, Deactivated, Activated) “Tombstoning”

No native DB API, use 3rd party libs (Persistent storage, Sqlite Client, Perst, etc.) MSDN - Differences between SL for WP7 & Windows
