Good resources to catch up Windows Phone 7 Series. For competitions, We don't have much time left, for the Round I it will finish on May 24, so we have only 49 days. Anyway, do you have any ideas of apps we want to try?

I think we need to found a team, 2/3 developers and 1/2 graphic designers. My idea is to develop a game called "Lost in Angkorwat". Of course, we need to go through the tutorial to get ourselves familiar with XNA and 3D concepts, then start on the project. Do not care about the deadline. If we can't finish it on time, we can just continue the project for pleasure.
