Windows Phone 7 Petzold book

I had a look at the upcoming Charles Petzold book on WP7. I have always liked his approach to programming books, as he fills them with useful examples. Here's a link to an excerpted version of the new book:

One thing that becomes obvious very quickly: Microsoft designed the WP7 platform to be a gaming device as well as a phone. It appears that the topics covered are 50/50 Silverlight/XNA. I almost wonder why Microsoft didn't call their new phone software "xPhone".
