I just/finally put some code up on github. The repo includes the WP7ImageZoomer from my other post, among a buncha of useful classes that I have accumulated over several apps. For anyone doing network data syncing and using SQLCE in wp7, there a chunk there just for you!

Any feedback would be appreciated. :)
