This does not seem to exist. All that I want is a simple, up to date tutorial or guide as to how I can utilise the TTS features on Windows Phone 7.5.
Microsoft have released a tutorial for this in WP8 recently, where it is much easier to implement.

You cannot use TTS speech in Windows Phone 7.5 as it was not exposed directly earlier for Windows Phone 7 devices. But You can use this Hawaii Research project

Can anybody provide me the link or blog-post for kernel level and core features differences between windows phone 7 and windows phone 8?
From a developers point of view? :Nokia has a guide for side by side development highlighting the differences
You can see difference between Windows phone 7 and Windows phone 8 here.
Don't forget you've acces to the update system information here with new features by updates...
But all windows phone devices have not already the last version of the system.
Also, a new "Big Update" named "GDR2" ( it's the windows phone 8.1 version) is actually in progress for the windows phone 8... lot of websites list all new features for this update. here for sample.
I want to implement Audio Live Streaming on Windows Phone. most of them told Windows Phone 7 sdk does not support Streaming. so I upgrade and install Windows Phone 7.1.
Which class i want to use to implement Live Streaming?????
Please give some guidelines and materials to do this task.
Thanks in advance.
You may want to consider using IIS 7.X for the streaming portion. The following link shows how you can build the client app for Windows Phone 7:

The sample requires the IIS Smooth Streaming Client (1.1), Silverlight 4, and the Visual Studio Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools.
I have many years of experience with Windows Mobile, but I have not yet done anything with Windows Phone 7.
I'm interested in knowing what the major differences are between developing for the two platforms. I know they both use C# and .NET, but that's about it.
The biggest different is that the default application platform for .NET on Windows Mobile is .NET Compact Framework (.NET 3.5 SP1) and a "compact" version Windows Forms. For Windows Phone 7, you'll still be dealing with a compact version of the .NET framework, but the main application platform is Silverlight rather than Windows Forms. Silverlight is based on the newer presentation framework WPF.
The other big difference is the OS/platform APIs. Windows Mobile has okay support for hardware APIs, but the OS itself and the hardware tended to be really clunky and hard to work with, from both a developer's and user's perspective. The network connection manager on Windows Mobile is one of the most miserable APIs I've worked with lately. The Windows Phone 7 hardware overall is way nicer, and I would hope that the platform APIs are a little cleaner and less clunky, but I haven't worked with it enough to say at this point.
Another major difference is that for WinMo you use Studio 2008, for Phone you use Studio 2010.
The biggest change is the use of SilverLight now.
Take a look at this...

I'm also working in Windows Mobile and was quite excited about Windows Phone 7 but unfortunately it seems to be almost useless for full-on business apps because I believe that you can't have a local sql database running on the device :(
Does windows phone 7 series support the System.ServiceModel.Syndication.dll?
The Silverlight 3 version of System.ServiceModel.Syndication from the Silverlight 3 SDK should work on Windows Phone but is not officially supported. It may support the features you need from the .NET version.
If you are looking at building an application or two on the Windows Phone 7 to interface with RESTful services, you may look at RESTSharp, which now supports Windows Phone 7. Luke Lowrey's article is a good starting point on using RESTSharp in Windows Phone 7. In this article, Luke shows how he uses RESTSharp to consume the Google Weather XML feed.
Hope this helps.
No, I'm pretty sure for now if you want to parse feeds you just have to use Xml.
Where can I find the SDK for new Windows Phone 7?
Couple of more resources:
Windows Phone 7 Training Kit
Silverlight.net learn videos for Windows Phone 7
Programming for Windows Phone 7 ebook by Charles Petzold
Edit: As the no-commenting-down-voter reminded me, these steps are no longer required as the installer now includes everything you need.
In addition to Rowland's answer, you'll need a few things installed in order to use Blend (for Silverlight animations):
Expression Blend 4 Beta
Microsoft Expression Blend Add-in Preview for Windows Phone
Microsoft Expression Blend SDK Preview for Windows Phone
Here are some other resources you might find useful:
Windows Phone Development on MSDN
Windows Phone Class Library Reference
Code Samples (not included with the SDK download; rather limited, but a good place to bookmark)
It hasn't been officially released as of yet. I heard it would be detailed at MIX.
A community Tech Preview of the tools is available through the Windows Mobile Developer website
You can find the new released SDK at the Windows Phone for Developers homepage.
Click the "Download the Developer Tools" link on the right hand side.
It includes a specialized version of Visual Studio 2010 Express and a device emulator.
Hey the windows phone SDK can be found on Microsoft's website here:
