2. WHAT IS IT ?!
 Framework that enables Windows Phone applications to
provide common functions such as placing phone calls,
sending emails, and taking pictures for their users

3. o The Windows Phone application model isolates every
application in its own work area for both execution (including
memory isolation) and file storage.
o Windows Phone applications are not able to directly access
common information stores such as the contacts list or to
directly invoke other applications such as phoning or
messaging.

4. o To support scenarios requiring common tasks such as phoning
or messaging, the Windows Phone provides a set of launcher
and chooser APIs that enables applications to access these
useful phone features indirectly.
o The launcher and chooser APIs invoke distinct built-in
applications that replace the currently running application.
When implemented correctly, the launchers and choosers
framework provides the end user with a seamless experience
while masking the application switching that occurs in the
background.

5. Launcher - A “fire and forget” action, where a specific Windows

Chooser - An “open file dialog” action, where information is
selected from a specific phone application’s storage area, for
example, selecting an email address, contact, or picture
