Some time ago, a friend who is working on a big WP8 project, asked me for a method to detect when the headphone jack is plugged or unplugged from the device, given that apparently there were no API to do this.

In recent months I have to say that my commitment within the Italian Community given me some big satisfactions, in fact I had a chance to participate as a speaker or attendee to events that have expressed very high levels for content, and overall organization.
