Description
Windows Phone 7 has been getting a good bit of press in last couple weeks (to say the least). Given the recent announcements, there's a good chance more people will be looking to do some WP7 dev.

ahaddad I would also like to add to this list the ArcGIS API for Windows Phone. An API that allows you to add GIS capabilities to your mobile applications based on our Award winning ArcGIS API for Silverlight. An example application that can be found in the MarketPlace that demonstrates some of the capabilities is A-to-B (http://bit.ly/a-to-b). The API can be downloaded at: http://esriurl.com/wp7

Valentin Stoychev You can also check the Commercial Telerik WP7 control toolkit here: http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone.aspx
There are a lot of controls currently + more to come - especially data visualization and data driven controls. Our aim is to provide a full-blown suite for WP7 development.
HTH,
Valentin
