Note: It has been noted that this screencast and part 2 more closely follow how to create a Panorama style application than a Pivot style application. I hope to fix that in the next part to this series - sorry for the confusion.

I just posted a screencast showing how to create a basic Windows Phone 7 application that follows the Pivot style of navigation using Blend. This first screencast should be good enough to get most people by until more official Pivot and Navigation templates or controls are available (assuming they will be). I will be posting a second part of this screencast which will show off how you can do the gesture based navigation as well later in the week.

Please stay tuned for part two, and please give me some feedback if this is useful to you. I think the screencast format might help me be able to blog more often, so please let me know what you think.
