I saw the Khan Academy app a few days ago, and am quite impressed with it. If you want to check your math homework while watching the videos you can use WinFone Alpha, a free Wolfram|Alpha client for windows phone.

Foy,

Could you have them use a different profile for the high-quality WMV encode? I seem to have a stutter problem only with Hot Apps, while other Channel 9 HQ WMV streams work just fine.

Check this one - Comica, it's like a WP7 hub built for comic strips.
There's a demo here http://www.vimeo.com/20548652
