From:

AfricanGeek has a new look to his website and a new video up - Extracting audio from video in Expression Encoder and using it as a custom ringtone in WP7.1

Dhananjay Kumar is discussing a listbox containing a listbox that had to be bound dynamically... makes it look a lot less complex than I thought:)

Erno de Weerd describes an issue he had with this WP7 app in development not being able to hit a RESTful Web Service on the intranet and how he worked around the problem... lots of good info.

Jesse Liberty began a series on building a WP7 app from scratch in his blog... a 4 function calculator links to everything you need, and instructions for doing the layout in Blend

In this Part 2 of his series, Jesse Liberty wires up the event handlers for the buttons... once again, good Blend instruction... then moves into the Event handlers and binding

Den Delimarsky wrote a 2-post series on detecting a dropped phone... note this could also be a phone user falling... he discusses an Android app that does the same thing, and has links to his own two posts at DZone

Austin Andrews has been updating his WP7 Icon pack regularly... this post is an overview of what he has in there, and a link to the zip

John Papa's first "Papa's Perspective" in Visual Studio Magazine hit this week, and is a great overview discussion of MVVM

Morten Nielsen continues his WPF/Silverlight exploration with this post about differences in the XAML parser and how conditionals don't work in XAML as they do in code.

Admittedly not a WPF/Silverlight post, but more a WP7/Silverlight post, Morten Nielsen round out his comparison series with this on on API differences between Silvelright and Phone dev

Andrej Tozon built enough About pages for his WP7 apps that he decided to take a shot at a generic page he could reuse... check it out... might work for you too.

Andrej Tozon's latest post is about the new Windows Phone Toolkit on CodePlex which is for the WP7.1 devices, and particularly the localization support it provides.

Michael Washington has a cool post up discussing using WCF RIA Services in your LightSwitch app and LightSwitch in general

Stay in the 'Light!
