Building the PacktNews app using the Silverlight for Windows Phone 7.5 Pivot control


Now that we have learnt how to use the Patch News API, let us move ahead to build our PacktNews app using the Windows Phone Pivot control. We will use a free icon from http://findicons.com/icon/169293/news?id=376465# for the PacktNews app.
