Hot on the heels of word that OEMs have IE6 for Windows Mobile is a video that was recorded at PDC 2008 this past week. The video is a little over an hour and shows the current build of Silverlight 2. The video shows a few applications that were built once but run on Windows Mobile and the desktop without alteration and speaks of usability considerations between the two devices. The presenters state that Silverlight will originally be available as a browser plug-in but later on it will be extended to be usable as a standalone application. The presenters also state that there will be a version of Silverlight for the Nokia phones. In response to questions from two of the Audience members there are currently no plans to make Silver Light available for the iPhone. The presenters state that Apple currently does not allow developers to publish browser plug-ins for the iPhone and that is their main obstacle.
