Microsoft launches Silverlight beta for Symbian
Posted by: Phat^Trance in Nokia, Nokia Apps (S60v5)
Straight from the press release:
We are pleased to announce the public availability of Microsoft Silverlight for Symbian – Beta. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for creating media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web on desktop computers and mobile phones. Silverlight beta contains an installer for Symbian ^1 (S60 5th edition) devices and developer tools for developing Silverlight applications on Nokia Symbian^1 mobile devices.
With this release, we have come one more step closer to bringing Silverlight to the Symbian platform that holds single largest market share in the Smartphone market and hence extend Silverlight reach to mobile devices. While Microsoft has done cross-platform work for Silverlight on the desktop, this is the first time Silverlight cross-platform work has been achieved on a non-Microsoft mobile platform.
This beta release is primarily focused towards the developer community so they can start building great experiences on mobile devices. If you’re an existing Silverlight developer or you’re new to Silverlight and would like to get started, the resources below will help you:

Next move: “You are currently using tons of great softwares on Silverlight on Symbian. But you have to know they run smoother and look better on Windows Phone 7 ! Anyway, the Symbian version of Silverlight will always be outdated.”

Trolling is really stupid no matter what day it is.
I took a look @ silverlight…
what is that, some other object in HTML code… more like java than flash
flash have the advantage that is fast programming and multimedia programming, not abstract programming…
yes is powerfull, like you can do a 3D engine, but flash 10 have and flash will go further, guessing some directX suport or some acceleration…
i’ll stick with flash :p
