This is an awsome use of the live tile feature -

So traffic cameas, baby monitors, security cameras the use is endless... All pinned to the start screen...

This could be a killer feature for Windows Phone when fully implemented

Nice. I am waiting for somebody to write a shopping list app that will scroll the items on a live tile It should be possible now.

So I wrote that app myself It's very simple, no scrolling, because to make a tile live it still requires push notifications Mine app is fully local, it creates a bitmap of a text box which contains the list, saves it to app's isolated storage and sets it as the tile's background. BTW programming WP7 felt like sitting on my hands, I am used to functionality from .net that is simply not there for WP7 and I spent a lot of time just trying to find out an idiomatic way how to do something. But I guess one gets used to it after a while.
