Microsoft released the SDK tool for their latest version of  Windows mobile OS, Windows Phone 7. As a developer you would like to take screenshot of your apps running on the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) simulator. Obviously you can use Windows Snipping tool to screen capture your app but it will capture SDK screen without the Windows Phone 7 phone frame. What if you want to capture  Windows Phone 7 along with  app running in background. Here is an app for that.

Windows Phone 7 Simulator Cropper is an app that can capture screen from Windows Phone SDK. It basically does the job of screen capture tool but here it adds a Windows Phone 7 frame to the screenshot you take. This is useful for submitting your app, blog posts, and presentation slides you make.
