Is it possible for a WP7 Silverlight application to access files outside of it’s isolated storage? I know an application can’t access another application’s isolated storage but would it be possible to access shared files ?

As far as I know you can only access files from isolated storage. Calling methods like File.Open() results in a MethodAccessException.
If you want to share files over application boundries a simple solution would be to store them on a remote location (in the cloud or on a regular webserver) and let your application work with these files.
