With this release, we have come one more step closer to bringing Silverlight to the Symbian platform that holds single largest market share in the Smartphone market and hence extend Silverlight reach to mobile devices. While Microsoft has done cross-platform work for Silverlight on the desktop, this is the first time Silverlight cross-platform work has been achieved on a non-Microsoft mobile platform.
This beta release is primarily focused towards the developer community so they can start building great experiences on mobile devices. If you're an existing Silverlight developer or you're new to Silverlight and would like to get started, the resources below will help you:
