In MIX10 we all noticed that Joe Belfiore can directly output the display of his Samsung WP7 Developer prototype phone onto the big screen.
You may search for the video demo "Joe Belfiore Demos Windows Phone 7" in Google.
I searched on internet and received not many info on this. So I directly asked him on twitter @joebelfiore and he replied me in message.

This img is from my thread I posted just now on Chinese forum...I am a Chinese...
If anyone like me want to give presentations just as Joe did with his WP7 phone, I think the hope is not shinny~May rather buy a Nokia N8 or even Nokia 5800.
Some android devices like HTC Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S support tv out,too.
Just a bit disappointed~I used to hope to introduce WP7 devices to the company I serve as work phones. But it doesn't support VPN, and has no tv out, not to mention the NFC. You can't even copy the office file directly to your Phone without unlocking it. Maybe to choose android the other day, although it's Siemens here...
P.S If this post is supposed to cause any trouble because I mentioned the direct message from Mr. Joe Belfiore or the name of Siemens, just let me know and I will delete this right away. No means to make trouble.
----Edit----
Just like PG2G said on the 4th floor, firstly I am happy to see Joe answered my question directly without hiding something because people in his position usually don't do that. I am still a fan of Windows Phone 7 cuz I really don't want to show a game machine desktop (android and iOS) on the projector of a serious meeting room.
EDIT: nevermind
Lol... I'm sure another social network will make the cut, though.

While you didn't get the answer you'd ask for, it is pretty cool that someone in his position is actually listening to and answering people's questions.

Yeah, that's also what I think. People in his position hardly give feedback to normal people like you and me. So it's really nice of him to do so.
And that's why I still haven't give up the WP7 system, since I think letting all people in the meeting room to see my android desktop which looks like a game machine is not really a cool stuff~~~

Just noticed this site came up, after waiting for info for a while.
It feels disappointing
windowsphone7series dot com
How disappointing ?
As disappointing as WM6.5 ?
As disappointing as Win7 ? Vista ? Zune ?
It can't be as disappointing as ME !
Perhaps there's a pattern emerging here, much the same as the Microsoft stock price over the last 10 years (-45%)
What's the bets Ballmer will be out of a job by 2011 ?
I personally don't like the new face that its been given...until I try it for my own though I will not judge hastily, because it looks like there could be potential.
touch pro2 cannot run the wp7 series as it is low end device and doesnot meet the requirements so all of you will not be able to try it without changing your phones
Ah, how refreshing, more Microsoft bloat without managing to move forwards or impress anyone
Here's a good example :

yet microsoft is not the only company being pointed out for bloatware as you can see.
I think simple and intuitive is much better than what winmo7 looks like, but once again I won't solidify opinion until I am testing it out on a device.

I never said microsoft wasn't a major contributor either, I was just stating that the information you gave was only half of it (unless they of course read the article). So yes microsoft adds bloatware, but so do many others.
*edit*
I see we are on the same page, very unique as I believe this is a first.
What about Blu-Tack ?
There's no bloat in Blu-Tack !

Now that WP7S is announced, I'm sure someone will make a WP7S UI for Win 6.X just like the iPhone UI back in 07. So, developers get coding.
Hi all,
Wrote this as a friend wanted it on his phone got bounced by the marketplace (god knows why).
Code is fairly solid but could use some work posting the source and XAP here for someone to take over the development.
In short its been sitting on my machine for an age with nothing happening. If anyone wants to have a play etc then go for it.
Please note this is released under GPL. In short don't pass this off as yours and go around making money!
What do you have against others making money off something you have up'd for free that isn't done? No-one is going to make money if they're always half-way-there [bon jovi jokes are a must].
Not making money par-say but people stealing the code and claiming as their own then hogging all the rights to it.

The code works, the app runs. Half-way wouldn't be a fair description. I'm providing the work I've done to date for free so that someone can carry on working on it as a free open source project. I think that seems fair.
Probably got bounced because marketplace doesn't allow "Adult, racist, homophobic, etc." content
I wrote a Sickipedia app myself before Windows Phone 7 even came out, lloked like this:

Yeh very similar look to mine. Think you win on UI design tho.
Im happy to work with you on the UI and roll with your Code if you like ? Wouldnt want to put my name all over it and could be released on here once finalised as a colaboration ?
Hi,
Would love to but the work load with my university course is getting very heavy and so I don't really have any time to dedicate to a project right now.
I am more than happy for you to take my code and re-do the UI and release to XDA users.
You could try to republish the app.
The 'exit' exception you're throwing is not allowed, and will definitely get your submission denied.
private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
throw new Exception("I want to close the application");
}
You really should just remove the entire first page. This is just asking them to notice the 'ethics' violation.
Never really had anyone look over my code before, bit of a strange feeling knowing people are looking at my work!
I do agree while strictly true the exception is against the rules it shouldn't cause the app to fail certification as it will still conform to the policies.
I'm not really too interested in republishing as it was directly refused on ethics grounds and I find myself kind of agreeing with them.
Nokia will reveal the Windows phone made by Nokia the 8/17 so in two weeks now

I'm from Cologne (Köln).
Maybe the event will be at the (2008 opnened) Microsoft building at the Rhein in Cologne.
Yes, it's a giant M(icrosoft) with its own Lufthansa Check in and Marina.
If its in a smaller location it can be at 4010 (a new Concept Stor by Deutsche Telekom).
http://4010.com/home?loc=Köln
sorry but Nokia do not show any devices to this event
http://thisismynext.com/2011/08/02/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone-gamescom/
I really hope we see some WP7 devices from Nokia, soon. I always liked their phones in the pre-Smartphone area and hope that their Windows phones will be as good as their old stuff used to be.
More to the point, Nokia need to get there devices now, certainly before the next iphone, as soon as that comes out it will be game over as far as building any momentum is concerned. If it comes out before hand and its the n9 design as leaked (great design by the way) and its pushed heavily with advertising across the board then they might stand a chance.
Its all well and good being hush hush on future devices, but on a launch like this with a new phone on a new os (for them at least), they need lots of stock, lots of advertising, and they need confirmed dates that the public can await and look forward to. So far Nokia have been far to slow yet again to react, which is the reason there in this mess to begin with.
my 2cents anyway.
Unless I am WOWed, I'll stick with old HTC...good dependable phones for the most part....
I hope the first Noika models to the US are fully maxed out with front camera and all the bells you can wish for. Not the low end, low price point models they are talking about.
Mayby they show a N-GAGE like Windows Phone 7.5 for Gamers!?
IMO a phone with Joypad-like Buttons and Xbox LIVE (more great games will come after Mango release with all the new API) would be THE phone for Gamers.
Day one for me!
I will be there with my hawkeyes. Strength of the hawk

Nice, intentional.
So if you tweet from the Me tile, it will say "Via Microsoft" at the bottom of your tweets.
I think this isn't good for Windows Phone because it was like advertising through twitter before.
I don't really like this change.. Does anyone?

doesn't really matter, via Microsoft, via Phone.
does anyone actually care/read via what method other people post twitter posts? I never bothered to read that line. I do not see how this is really advertising. I mean, do people go "Oh, three of the people i follow use windows phone, so should I"?
The best advertising is the kind that people are so used to seeing that they find it automatic. Much like the well-known "Sent from my iPhone" email signature line, such things spread brand awareness without blatantly being marketing. I'm really not sure why MS (or Twitter, or whoever it was) made this change...
and? what's the problem?

It's sad that most people (at least at my school) haven't even heard of the term "Windows Phone."

I don't understand why is this not good for Windows Phone?!
It never said via Windows Phone.
It always said via Live.
This is part of losing the Live branding and they are doing it pretty quick. This only means that they are getting ready for the launch of something that will replace Live Services i.e. more new about Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. It is all good

It originally said "via WindowsLive" unless you were using the app, because the backend for Twitter on Windows Phone is the same one used for all other Windows Live services.
That's so ugly, please change to "Via Windows phone"...
Remember when Nicky Minaj promoted the Lumina 900 in times square and posted about it on twitter and it said "via blackberry" or something. If people didn't complain about that we wouldn't have this change.
Heya,

your phone is the last left
Wow, that sure is a lot of phones. 21 phones for 21 people, right? Otherwise, you're insane.
Nope, my phone is the flipped one on the right side, blue tiles.
I ment who finds me in the other pictures, the REAL me, not my phone
Yes, it was 21 phones per >21 users of course.
nice meeting
majority of omnia 7?
lol, my proud!
a question... is the 4th from right to left at the bottom line with orange tiles the new omnia m? i cannot detect it...
No Omnia M on this picture, only in the "more pics" link there is on the 6th photo being held by our WP TL . We weren't allowed to make photos

itsan n9 running ICS via nitdroid, he made a sexy device garbage.
That's insane!
Quite expected, because most Microsoft employees do receive their work phones from the company for free.
cant see any HD2's there?
also, no Mozart love!
EDIT: Interesting to see that the bright theme is rarely used.
am i the only one who thinks the way the nokias reflect the light makes their digitisers look like they are made of cheap plastic (don't know from experience, touched a wp7 nokia)
