Just wanted to ask if anybody has heard anything about Silverlight on Windows Mobile? Any first-alpha releasedates, any good blogs that discuss the subject?
Or perhaps one of the MS-people hanging around here can comment on the subject?
What will be included, how will it run? standalone or web?
All I have is rumor, but the general consensus is that it will be ported and that people are actively working on porting it. There is even a video (I can't find the link, sorry) showing people using one of the MIX demos on a Windows Mobile device.

Yep, thats about all I´ve heard and seen as well. It would really be awesome if the silverlightplatform could be used to run standalone applications on windows mobile, as it is now it´s pretty hard to do something that looks and works nice, of course you
can use tons of bitmaps but...but that has other drawbacks.

Sorry for the slow response.. it's been a busy summer.
Couple of things. At Mix07 showed a very early prototype of Silverlight ported and running a prototype MLB application showing what a future app could potentially look like. I have more details on the demo in
my blog.
We do not have a roadmap or release schedule to announce at this point and unfortunately don't have details that I am able to communicate at this point. We are currently in our planning and early development stages for bringing Silverlight to the mobile
world. If you have any thoughts on what think the Silverlight experience on mobile devices should be, fire away. I'm interested to hear what you all have to say.
I'm a fairly new WM user (WM6), with an HTC 8525 through AT&T. I live in a rural area, (20 miles from where the Windows XP rolling hills picture was taken) and high speed cell towers are a few years out. I'd like to see Silverlight provide a good picture
and sound without pauses and a quick load time, even with older cell towers. Of course, available content will be a major factor for me as well. Finally, I want a small footprint on my device.

As silverlight needs to run from a browser anyway, if you want something looking nice and running in a small footprint, why not use Adobe Flash, my HTC can run Flash7 (PPC), and you can run killer looking apps, as long as you code any animations rather than
using the score.
Good Luck, still hanging out for SilverLight, but that seems a mile away...
bwahahaha, that reply couldn´t have come in a more appropriate time :) Have a look at the mix08 keynote, that´ll show ya! They are running Silverlight (I believe stand-alone) on a Nokia N95 mobile phone with SYMBIAN OS. whiiiiiii it´s like pron for nerds!
Silverlight Run-time for Windows CE may be released in the next beta. Silverlight Run-time for Nokia Symbian phones is going to follow pretty soon too.
