Microsoft currently has stated it'll port its Silverlight competitor to Adobe Flash to Windows Cellular phones. However it also is operating on the Silverlight port to phones from cellphone marketplace leader Nokia.Microsoft will announce on March four that, with all the support of Nokia, it's started porting Silverlight to the S60s running the Symbian operating program. Microsoft;s press release says that Nolia;s S60 had much more than 53 % of worldwise marketplace share for “converged device software” in the fourth quarter of lst year. Microsoft and Nokia also will port Silverlight to Nokia Series 40 and Internet tablet devices, Microsoft stated.While Microsoft previously has said it will make the Silverlight browser plug-in available for Internet Explorer,
Windows 7 Activation, Firefox and Safari systems, Nokia;s S60s feature a built-in, unbranded browser that doesn;t all into any of these categories. So this port is yet another one to add to the Silverlight “cross-platform” list.
