Anyone have sample code on how to connect to Sitefinity 4.x

I'm interested in using Sitefinity 4.x (have 4.2 SP1 now) for our main website and as our general publishing platform, however, I would like to be able to retrieve some Sitefinity data from a client for mobile phones using WCF. Is anyone else doing this yet? Are there any blog articles or sample code on doing this successfully?

- is it a matter of just coding up my client app and pointing to the right Sitefinity WCF service? (does the client need to be authorized?)

- Or do I have to extend Sitefinity in some way to make it possible first?

Here is the Dev Guide link on the topic for those who haven't seen it:

Before I head too far down that road, I was mainly wondering if anyone had worked with it yet and if there were any gotchas or tips.

Hi Dan

I don’t know what you are trying to do but I wrote a straight forward web servcie, placed it in SF root folder and added all the methods I needed into it. Works fine for what I need.

Here is the best example yet on how to use Sitefinity's WCF services from a non-Sitefinity client complete with Source Code:

Hi guys,

 Indeed, this is a very good blog post. What I can add here is one more example of logging in and consuming a GetAllUsers service from another application. 
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get back to me.
