Hi,
When can we expect Silverlight for Mobile. We are planning to use Silverlight for application development on Windows CE machine. Also we are planning to use WCF Service to provide data for the silverlight application. Could anybody tell when can this happen for Windows CE operating system?
Currently Silverlight is supported only on XPe operating system only :(

I wouldn't start or plan project on Silverlight for Mobile yet. Nothing has been announced and what we do know is the fact that it won't come out before Windows Mobile 7. Not something that's happening in the next two or three months. There's not even a CTP yet. Though you can make use of WCF Service from within CF.NET applications on Windows CE machines.

Thanks Mark, We are of a feeling that Silverlight Mobile will come somewhere at the end of this year and its fully compatible with the desktop version. So that the desktop silverlight application can directly be ported on to the mobile device when it gets released. Can anybody tell when is Windows Mobile 7 coming up?

Seems like early 2010 is a good guess: http://www.newsoxy.com/windows-mobile-7/article11803.html

Thanks, the link helped. Early 2010 is not bad. But the blog doesn't talk about silverlight. Is it pretty sure that Windows Mobile 7 will have Silverlight support?

I think we can be sure it won't be before Windows Mobile 7. But I'm sure if we can expect it to arrive at the same time. In the last releases of Windows Mobile there wasn't any .NET product attached to that release. But then again, we are only sure if we get an official reply from Microsoft.

So, currently only Flex is available on Windows Mobile in RIA Technolgy space is it? I checked JavaFX, JVM which supports JavaFx is not available for Windows Mobile yet.

Yes, I've tested Skyfire on my HTC Touch Windows Mobile 6 device and it displays Silverlight content, of course the UI must be developed to be run on a device of this type, in particular when thinking about performance and display size.

I have created a silverlight test application, copied the client bin directory and the testpage.html on storage card of my HTC touch. The HTML page is automatically opening in Opera, which show Get Silverlight page, when I try to open that page in skyfire with following URL file:/Storage%20Card/Misc/SLTest/SLMobileTestPage.htmlandfile:/Storage Card/Misc/SLTest/SLMobileTestPage.html
It gives me error sayingfile not found, can you please tell me the correct way of deploying/coping Silverlight 2 app on mobile and how to access it?

Skyfire is available only for Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6. Its not available for Windows CE. Microsoft has been promising that Silverlight will be made available for CE soon. Currently, we are able to run our silverlight application on Windows XP Embedded operating system (Windows Embedded Standard). I really have no clue when will microsoft release it for Windows CE.

@SLMonster: at this time I have not deployed SL apps on Windows mobile for use with Skyfire, I've used this browser to run on-line apps and it works fine.

Skyfire is a "C/S" browser.
When you request pages, server got the page, render view, and post video stream back, so that's "cross platform"
When the html page is local, the server can't get that, so ...
