Are you sure about panorama size? In the documentation is says about panorama of size 1000 x 800 only for marketplace background to present you app there. But in the developers guidelines it says that most suiteable size for you panorama page with 4 contents is 16:9 (~800*1425)
yes it is for marketplace. With panaroma control is a bit diffrent. Depends how many items you have there, if you show the tray icon etc.
ps. here is a nice example how to use bing daily images.
