#TuesdayTrivia: Spotlight on WP7 (Win a copy of Sams Teach Yourself Windows Phone 7 Application Development)

These days, what CAN'T a smartphone do? Microsoft is putting their own spin on things to help you experience "life in motion" when using your device. Instead of containing static application icons, the re-imagined Start screen features live Tiles showing real-time content updates.

"From an application-development perspective, Microsoft is leveraging the existing .NET developer base, potentially turning any C# or VB developer who understands Silverlight or the XNA Framework into a mobile application developer,” says the Sams Teach Yourself Windows Phone 7 Application Development in 24 Hours author team of Scott Dorman, Kevin Wolf, Nikita Polyakov, and Joe Healy. Download and install a single free package from Microsoft that includes all of the tools you need to start building applications for Windows Phone – with the primary development tool being Visual Studio 2010.
