@SteveRichter, many apologies for my newbie reply, but you do write WP7 apps in Silverlight, don't you? And isn't coding in .net one of the big selling points of Silverlight? I realise that it's a subset, but it sounds to me like you're already talking about beginning with a subset and branching out as features warrant it.
What am I missing? Please, try not to flame me.
