Nokia Signs up for Silverlight Mobile

Pete Brown - 04 March 2008

Looks like Nokia has signed up with Microsoft to include Silverlight in its S60 and S40 mobile phones as well as Nokia internet tablets.

The Register mentions (despite the unnecessary jabs at Nokia and backhand at Microsoft) that this will be demo'd at MIX tomorrow. More cool stuff to look forward to!

Excerpt:

But adding Nokia's S60, based on the Symbian OS, is a far bigger deal. Nokia is the largest smartphone maker today, shipping 53% of the 35.5 million smartphones sent out worldwide in Q4 2007, according to market research firm, Canalys Ltd.

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. had 11% of the market, while Apple Inc., which uses the Mac OS X for its iPhones, was tied with Motorola Corp. for third with 6.5%.
