Silverlight goes mobile at last! On.. Nokia phones?!

Yesterday I read a few news stories about the launch of Back in September we ran a story entitled Silverlight goes live, where's the Windows Mobile lovin'? Simply put, Silverlight allows web apps to be developed with animation, vector graphics and audio-video playback. It'll compete with Adobe Flash, QuickTime and the like. Yesterday it was finally announced for mobile phones.. ermm.. Nokia ones...

Ah.. Apparently Microsoft are still "working on" a Windows Mobile version of Silverlight, and the partnership with Nokia is designed to extend the reach of the product. GM of Microsoft's Developer Division, John Case, said ...

"We can't pretend to be a really ubiquitous play without being a partner with Nokia and Symbian."

Say what you will, this is sure to make Windows Mobile owners feel a little less important...
