Silverlight on Nokia S60 devices

Frustrated?

In many of my blog posts (e.g.here and here) I refer to .NET Compact Framework and Symbian OS (S60) and obviously folks keep asking me via comments (or assume) that we are porting .NETCF on S60 devices. So I thought it's time to clarify :)

The short answer is that we are not porting .NETCF to S60 devices, but we are porting the Silverlight on S60 devices. This was jointly announced by Microsoft and Nokia, read Nokia's press release here.

We are in very early stage of development and it is very hard to tell how much will be in it (e.g. will it be SL v1.0 or v2.0). However, we are working hard and as and when more details emerge I will share it out from this blog. So keep reading.
