Microsoft’s Silverlight is best described as Microsoft’s take at Flash – as it is intended to be a cross-platform technology, Microsoft initially stated intentions to bring it out to Symbian.
Mary Jo Foley, a respected Microsoft expert, now states the following – according to her, two files were posted and quickly pulled:
From the description of the tools:
“The installable executable file enables users to run Silverlight applications on the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform. The executable file includes the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition devices, the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition emulator, sample applications, and developer documentation.”
And from the description of the Silverlight for Symbian beta:
“The installable executable enables user to run Silverlight applications on the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform.”
Her guess is that the product will be released during the MIX conference, which will be held in a few days…
