Create Your Own Live Tiles From Any Web Page

"Web Tiles enables you to create live tiles out of any web page. You can select the area of the page that will be shown on your live tile. You can also choose how often your tiles will be updated. This is great for example for weather or stock graphs and image feeds."

Here's what appears to be a very effective app for WP7. Do you really like live tiles? I bet you do and now you can create a tile from any web page. You can configure the tiles to update in a number of ways, or force one to update every 15 minutes by tapping on it. A trial version is available, which limits you to three fixed addresses, but that should be enough to win you over. Give it a try!

"The term "Beta" is understood to mean that things are close to being finished. Well, that's what we mean anyway. This Beta release represents the near final version of the tools for building applications and games for Windows Phone 7. Since the initial CTP release of the tools just this March, the Windows Phone Developer Tool CTP has been widely embraced by the community, and they have shown what's possible on our new development platform. It's time to get serious about building the actual apps and games for Windows Phone 7 that consumers will be looking for starting this holiday season."

It's been a crazy day in the world of Windows Phone, and most of us have been looking to the man pictured above for information on the phone pictured above! Brandon Watson delivers the linked blog post with information about today's tools beta release, and articles are already starting to pop up on other blogs and MSDN about how you can develop more effectively for WP7 (Like this post on resolution and scaling!). Happy Programming!
