Otto, we can use these features if we can make programs to windows phone...(or windows 8 , or tablets with this), if have this features, have API to us use. we can use own creative to use this , in each case.
Yes, my clients wanna some this features, but to use we need an FivewinRT ou something like.
Nowadays and all integrated, correct? you develop a program for hotels, right? You may want to make a program that read the QR code, search on the internet, send to a list of customers who want to book a room in your hotel, one of these clients may have a visual handicap, then the program should read to him the text, or a lack of locomotion, then it should dictate the room you want to book. at the same time you may want to interact with the foursquare to do promotions for your hotel. or use the sensors (giroscopio, magnetometro) for those who are staying to find places in your hotel room or a coffee)
fairy tale thing or fiction, of course not, and so have a device API access that we do this and much more without relying on third-party applications.
google this launching an application of electronic money, which looks like this being testing in NY, using mobile phones to pay bills using a chip NFC, this is working today, we need the means to talk to these api.
but we are discuting Metro UI, cell phones, program to cell phones,technology, im confusing.....
this begin when i say is not possible make "real" aplications to metro UI using fivewin today, right?
I really said this, but not to discredit your work, of Antonio, and anothers to make this class inspired by the metro UI.
It seems that said something that someone not wanted to hear and now turned bag of hits?
best regards to all
