Silverlight Support for Windows Mobile
As you know, in the US, Microsoft is partnering with NBC for exclusive Olympics game contents at http://www.nbcolympics.com/. The site heavily uses Microsoft Silverlight instead od Flash for video contents.
It would be a challenge for Mobile users, since there are not many mobile browsers that can support Silverlight (or even Flash for that matter).
Luckily Skyfire, a browser that delivers Silverlight support on Windows Mobile browser. If you haven’t seen Skyfire, get up to date in the video in the next tab from co-founder Nitin Bhandari.
Skyfire gives Windows Mobile users a desktop experience with support for CSS, Ajax, QuickTime, Flash 9, and now Silverlight. The beta is for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones, and only for US phones right now.
And unfortunately Skyfire is a closed beta, but if you are one of the first 50 people to go to the sign-up page and enter the code "channel10" (no quotes) into the beta code field, you’ll get to see what it’s like.
