Part II in our “Channel 9 in the Dark” series is a look at how Microsoft streams an experience via IIS and Silverlight across devices. This video shows the experience of streaming Silverlight on Windows Phone 7, Nokia Series 60, and even on an iPhone. No, we’re not announcing Silverlight for iPhone; this simply shows how adaptive streaming can account for different devices depending on capability.

Today we’re previewing the new Windows Live Messenger in Sao Paulo, so I stopped by Dharmesh Mehta’s office to get you a look. This new Messenger has some things that we’ve been waiting for. Fullscreen high definition video chat is here, and for $50 on each side you can now chat in HD. Look for more HD video chats in our Channel 9 Studio with people we couldn’t otherwise talk with.

Messenger includes status updates synched across other networks, a coupled yet de-dup’d contact list, social highlights from your favorite people, and apps for Windows Phone and iPhone. Timeframe is in the coming months and will be available from download.live.com. You can find more info at messengerpreview.com.

Cross-Compiling Android Applications to the iPhone
Google Tech Talk February 25, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Professor Arno Puder, SF State University. Smart phones such as Google's Android and Apple's iPhone have become popular devices for mobile applications. In particular, both devices allow the development of native applications that can take advantage of special purpose hardware such as accelerometers or GPS. While similar in capabilities, smart phones differ greatly in the way native applications have to be written for them. Google's Android is based on Java with an Android-specific set of widgets, while Apple's iPhone only supports Objective-C as the programming language of choice. In fact, Apple explicitly prohibits Java virtual machines on the iPhone per license agreement. Objective-C and Java are two radically different programming languages. While Java features strong typing and garbage collection, Objective-C supports dynamic typing but no garbage collection. In this presentation we will describe a technique how Java-based Android applications can be cross-compiled to native iPhone applications. We will demonstrate how Java can be cross-compiled to Objective-C and how the Android API can be mapped to the iPhone-specific Cocoa API. One specific outcome of our work is that native iPhone applications can also be developed in Java. Several demos will be given throughout the presentation.
