Does anybody know how to access the Xbox Live Avatar from within an XNA based Windows Phone 7 application?
Examples I have found seem to use a SignedInGamer.Avatar property, but this is not accessible from Windows Phone 7.
Is there another way or is this not possible in the first place?
as a side note, I’m using the recent Mango beta 7.1 SDK
Thanks!
My understanding is they are only available to partners. See this post for more information:

However, it looks like you can demo them, here’s a quick tutorial on using them:
