Microsoft confirms Silverlight for Windows Mobile 7

September 25, 2009 — 9:47am ET | By Jason Ankeny




Microsoft said its forthcoming Windows Mobile 7 operating system will integrate its Silverlight 3.0 web application framework. "We are 100 percent dedicated to seeing Silverlight across all three screens--PC, TV and mobile," Brian Goldfarb, marketing director for Microsoft's Silverlight team, tells the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Microsoft Blog. While previous versions of Silverlight were deployed as a media player or platform for website development, Goldfarb said version 3.0--introduced in July--is positioned as a platform for third-party application development. "We look at Silverlight as a sort of comprehensive runtime platform," Goldfarb added, calling Silverlight 3.0 "a cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-device solution." Microsoft is expected to launch Windows Mobile 7 sometime in 2010.
In August, The Boy Genius Report said Research In Motion is planning to integrate full Silverlight and Adobe Flash support into future versions of its BlackBerry web browser. RIM likely will not introduce Silverlight and Flash support until the summer of 2010--in the interim, the handset maker must achieve higher data speeds to support its proposed web features.

What about for winmo6.5? :-(

Re: Silverlight for mobile?
 

Pretty sure they aren't. Especially since 6.5 is gonna be replaced in what, 6 months?

I wonder if wm7 will even work on the TP2...

Re: Silverlight for mobile?
 

Any news about Silverlight on WM6.5? I also have a TP2 (Sprint).

Re: Silverlight for mobile?
 

Unless hacked by some third party, I don't think the TP2 will get an official upgrade to WP7. Plus the TP2 fails most of WP7's minimum requirements anyway so even if it gets ported i doubt it'll run smoothly

Re: Silverlight for mobile?
 

IDK about most people, but I'll stick with the winmo 6.1...From what I've seen 7 looks like a zune and not a phone anymore.
