Alex Knight has a new tutorial up at SilverZine designing a listbox in Blend that looks like the Start page of WP7... very nice!
Walt Ritscher has a short Blend tutorial up on using the Hand tool.
Walt Ritscher also has a great post up discussing the performance counters in WP7, including a link to a counter showing memory usage.
Glenn Block blogged about Prism and the EventAggregator syntax, and ends up refactoring it down to make it all nice an clean... code available.
Robert Garfoot discusses the Silverlight Navigation Framework and MVVM... and he provides a solution that is not only unit testing-friendly, but provides a reusable approach.
Robert Garfoot also has a post up on simulating Push Notifications on WP7 devices... good for testing or for demos.
Michael Klucher has a post up about Trial mode... what it means, links to docs about it, and helpful information.
I found this post by the 'Silverlight WP7 Performance Team' from a post by Mike Ormond, and is a bunch of tips on optimising the Listbox scroll performance.
Mike Ormond has a video compiled from the 10 common issues that apps have been failing... number 1 is RTFM... duh...:)
