Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a webcam to simulate the phone camera in the Windows Phone 7 emulator? This seems like it would be useful for creating augmented reality applications with the current tools.

For the first release, augmented reality apps are out of the question — that particular bit of hardware access just won’t be available in the standard API. I wouldn’t rule it out for future releases, but right now, the idea is to get the must-haves done (and done right) for the 1.0 release, with the nice-to-haves saved for subsequent releases.
