In March 2008,
Office Enterprise 2007, Microsoft and Nokia introduced their dedication to make Silverlight accessible for certain Nokia phones operating the Symbian operating method. Microsoft is finally prepared to create a beta of that code out there.Microsoft briefly posted,
Office 2010 Standard Product Key, then pulled,
Office Professional Plus 2007 Product Key, the download of the beta with the Silverlight for Symbian code on March eleven, also because the related developer tools for that release. I grabbed the description with the downloads prior to they had been zapped.In the description of the equipment:“The installable executable file enables users to run Silverlight applications around the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform. The executable file includes the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition devices,
Office Enterprise 2007 Product Key, the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition emulator, sample applications, and developer documentation.”And in the description of the Silverlight for Symbian beta:“The installable executable enables user to run Silverlight applications on the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform.”Microsoft is likely to make the downloads of these two offerings accessible the week of March 14, given that the company’s annual Mix Web developer conference kicks off that week.When Microsoft and Nokia introduced two years ago their deal to develop the port of Silverlight to Symbian,
Microsoft Windows 7, the pair said to expect the final code before the end of 2008. They’ll be close to two years late if they deliver the final by the end of this calendar year.Microsoft officials also have been hinting that a port of Silverlight to Android was just around the corner for the past year-plus. I’m wondering if we might get an update on that port, too, at Mix 10, given that Microsoft is expected to roll out in detail its Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 OS plans at next week’s confab….Update (March 16): The Silverlight for Symbian beta is now live.
