Tips on creating SL viewer for mobile?

[Anaktay]

I would like to try my luck at creating an SL app for Windows phone 8. Any tips or anything I should know before I get started?

Before you consider investing your time in what I believe will be a significant undertaking, look at this...

It seems Linden Lab may be ready to pull back the curtains a little on their own mobile viewer effort.

You're on your own.  I assume that you have a strong background in programming, so you understand the technical challenge pretty well.  The viewer code for the Linden Lab viewer is open source.  You will need to start there.  If you plan to connect to the SL main grid and to have your modified viewer listed in the Directory of Third-Party Viewers, you will need to comply with the Third-Party Viewer Policy.

Wow...big project!  I hope you know something about programming.

I don't, or not very much.  But you could get in touch with the creators of other smartphone SL viewers and ask if they have any suggestions on where you should start.  Lumiya is probably the most full-featured smartphone viewer out there.
