Looks like Dragos Manolescu is just starting WP7 blogging with this post on GeoLocation.

Jeff Fansler discusses the Pivot control and how to control the pivot if your app gets interrupted and the user back-keys into the pivot.

Andy Beaulieu, a graphics guru, discusses collision detection for your next great WP7 application.

John McFetridge has part 4 of his tutorial series on a Stock market app on WP7 at SilverlightShow, and this episode is all about Push Nofications.

Kunal Chowdhury recently ratted out how to find the Silverlight version running, and decided to share that info with all of us:)

While the Adobe toolset might not be your first one to open, Kirupa Chinnathambi deftly demonstrates building WP7 toolbar icons.

As usual, while I've been off doing other things, Mike Taulty dropped 3 posts in his Blend Bits series. This first is on Effects.

Mike Taulty's next Blend Bits tutorial is on state transitions.

In Mike Taulty's Blend Bits 13, he demonstrates animating a grid out of the bottom of the screen based on the mouse moving in the display area.

Peter Bromberg has a an interesting Silverlight/WCF post up on avoiding server round-trips by storing the data in Session on the server
