Windows Phone 7 Tools Beta Including XNA 4
We must be getting near to the release of the highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 because Microsoft have just announced the Beta of the WP7 tools including XNA Version 4.
XNA Creators site kindly kept everyone informed here

And if you want to get straight into the action go here http://creators.xna.com/en-US/launchcenter and hit the big download link.
Make sure to read the release notes as there's some fairly crucial changes in there if you've been using an older version.
Perhaps this might be a good time to start thinking of a tutorial/sample you can share with others using the new WP7 Beta.

Video: Simple Component Model
This video is a 'program as I go' recording of creating a simple component system.
There wasn't really a design being followed so it may not be the most obvious implementation (or even very good). So I make no claim to it being the best or fastest way either.
