Anyone know about notifications in WP7?

[nv00021]

I have been using WM phones for several years and one of the most important things in my daily usage is Outlook integration of tasks to WM.... and alerts that go with them.

Has anyone seen how tasks are integrated in the new UI?

I have seen several videos but none showing details on the task integration or reminders. If anyone has experienced it first hand can you please share?

Thanks

Notifications on WP7.

There are three types of notifications on Windows Phone 7, namely, tile notifications, toast notifications and raw notifications. They serve three distinct purposes.

Tile notification: Tile notification is used to show the up-to-date status of the application on the application tile on the start screen of the phone. This is used only if the application is pinned to the start page and is meant to provide information at a glance. There are three types of information included in a tile notification, namely, a picture - for the tile background, a count - for example, think about the count of email messages and a title that conveys a message.

Toast notification: A toast notification is a message that pops up on the screen for 10 seconds. It is meant to provide time sensitive information. It is system wide, but does not disrupt user operation or require user action. If the user taps the notification, the application that sent the notification is launched. The user may dismiss the toast with a flick.
The toast notification shows a small the application icon on the left with two text items, a title and a subtitle.

Raw notification: Unlike toast notifications, raw notifications are in-application notifications that require action. They can be generated by the application itself or sent from a web service. Web service raw notifications only appear within the specified application; there is no system-wide way to display a raw notification. They affect only that application, if the application is not currently running, the raw notification is discarded.
