Rotating BlackBerry Playbook Simulator

I'll keep this one short and snappy.

If you want to change from the default 'landscape' mode, click and hold the mouse from the bottom right hand edge of the simulator (just anywhere in the black section will do) and drag towards the centre of the screen, and release.

WP7 - URI Mapper

Overview
I am always on the lookout for ways to improve code; short term benefits are nice but there is a great feeling in identifying potential problems way in advance, and putting in the framework early to make life easier later. Using a UriMapping when developing WP7 apps is one of the many ways you can help eliminate annoyances later.


So first of all, a brief description of how page navigation works in WP7, what a UriMapper is, and why it pays to use it. Scroll down passed these descriptions if you'd rather just see how to implement one.
