Sandbox Solutions for SharePoint 2010 are great news for SharePoint development. I think we will see a lot of great features without the need of doing farm deployments. But sandboxed solutions do have their limitations and not all project templates or SharePoint Project Items (SPI) are available for sandboxed solutions.
Below are lists of the templates installed with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and the availability for sandboxed solutions.
