Tapping one ofthese hubs takes you to the launch screen for that hub
whare you have access to services, apps, and content associated with that hub.
If you tap an application tile, such as Internet Explorer Mobile phone, that spe-
cific application launches.'You can create tiles for specific people, which
up other accounts and customize the Windows Live default account you set
up during the initial startup process.
UnderStanding the Windows Phone 7 Start and Application Lanucher Screen
In the past Microsoft took the Start butt,on and Start bar experience from the
desktop to the mobile device, but that assoaation is no longer the driving
force behind Start on Windows Phone 7.
After completing the initial setup process, you see the main Start screen
ofyour Windows Phone 7 device with blocks appearing on the display (see
Figure l-3). These blocks, called tiles, appear as either two across or one across
the screen with a scrolling vertical design so that tiles can appear down for
several screens. The Start and application launcher screens do not support
landscape orientation. The number of viewable tiles on one display varies
depending on the size ofyour Windows Phone display, but generally you can
see up to four tiles high on one display. We discuss these tiles in more detail
in the next sections, but they are all different with some animated and others
having different colors and backgrounds.
Pressing the center Start button on your Windows Phone always take you
back to the top ofthis main Start screen, so you eventually want to place your
most-used tiles at the top of the Start screen.
you can slide your finger up and down on the Start screen to see all of the
items on your Start screen, but ifyou slide your finger from right to left, you
can find the other main display, the application launcher. You can also tap the
right-facing arrow in the upper-right corner to go to the application launcher
screen (see Figure l-4). The application launcher screen simply shows all your
applications, six hubs, and email accounts sorted in alphabetical order with
small icons to the left and the name of the application/hub/email account on
the right. Note that the arrow is now in the upper left and points to the lefL.
Did you notice tHe animation that hap-
pens when you reach the bottom or top of the lists on the Start and appli-
cation launcher screens? Tha icons compress sligHtly to let you clearly
know ,You have reached tHe top or bottom of the screen
