Where the heck are Entity Framework samples?

Ok, Entity Framework is still to be released, but where the heck are EF samples? Take Following Real-World ASP.NET MVC Projects: Linq to SQL. Take Dynamic Data Controls: easily bindable with Linq To SQL, couldn't hook them up with EF. Most bloggers samples: Linq To SQL. Take Microsoft demoware apps: Linq To SQL. Can anyone point me to some nice EF samples other then Astoria?

  3. First of all, let me thank you for the samples links. My point here is: why aren't we finding more real world samples about EF? Why is Linq to SQL much sexier to present? Is it just because it as shipped? Or simplicity is a major asset on demos? And if so, wouldn't future application that should be written over EF just use Linq to SQL? Where are the EF based apps?
