In the next few weeks, Jeff Prosise will be blogging about
Windows Phone 7 and providing key insights for developers looking to build apps for it with
Silverlight. In this post he starts with something simple: the Back button.

Every Windows phone has a Back button that functions like a browser's Back button. I like this, because on the iPhone, I often have to go all the way back to the main screen just to back out of what I'm currently doing.
The Back button is accompanied by a Start button and a Search button, and Windows phones have other buttons as well: for example, a power button and a camera-shutter button. But the Back button is the only one that you can hook in software.
