Here’s a video demonstrating a nice looking (and fairly simple) indie  Windows Phone 7 called Hungry Castaway.

We are getting loser to the launch of WP7 and all these little applications we have seen popping up on a daily basis re-enforce my sentiment that the Marketplace will be filled with application from the get go. Video after the break:

You canalso find a lot of great info and XNA tutorials to help you get started on Ilias Gkanatsios’ blog here.
