Shawn Wildermuth also has Part 4 up and is talking about that 800lb gorilla in the WP7 room... Client-side Data... and being a 'data' guy... you know you're going to want to read Shawn's discussion on this.

Dave Relyea has re-templated the WP7 slider adding a 'tick' mark in the thumb for a visual cue, and made the touchable area wider... check out the pictures, you'll want the code!
