PR: Nokia to bring Silverlight into S60
Nokia today announces their plans to bring Microsoft’s Silverlight into S60 platform.
Silverlight is cross-platform plug-in for browser which competes with technologies like Adobe Flash and Flash Lite.
The arrangement with Nokia will substantially extend the reach of Silverlight by making the platform available for hundreds of millions of devices, including S60 on Symbian smartphones from a range of manufacturers, as well as Nokia Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets.
Today S60 developers can use: C++ (using native Symbian OS APIs and Open C providing subset of standard POSIX libraries), S60 Web Run-time (supporting standards-based web technologies such as Ajax, JavaScript, CSS and HTML), the Java(TM) language, Flash Lite from Adobe, and Python.
