Silverlight will be available to S60 developers later this year, with initial service delivery following shortly. According to TechCrunch, the decision strengthens Silverlights position as a competitor to Flash, but more importantly readies Microsoft’s Silverlight platform for the one game that’s new enough that it might have a hope in winning: offline apps up against Adobe’s AIR platform. With this deal, Silverlight will spread to millions of devices worldwide (remember, Nokia is still the market leader with Symbian OS having a 67% share of the smartphone market).  On the other hand, it’s going to meet tough competition in the form of iPhone SDK since, according to Mashable!, the application deployment on the iPhone is a far more pleasant experience, and with a real SDK and a big fanbase. Microsoft says it also plans to make Silverlight compatible with the next generation of Windows Mobile, according to GigaOM.

I’m a robotics programmer, not a web programmer, but my understanding is that Silverlight is easier to program - Flash is kind of funky to program, Silverlight has the DLR (dynamic language runtime) so you can program it in IronPython, IronRuby, and other .NET languages.

Then again, I’ve heard rumors of people porting other languages to run on Flash/AIR.

I run on a man, and I installed the Silverlight to chewck out a site that requested it. It didn't show up. As usual Microsoft sucks at releasing software, so having on a Mobile will make it far more frustrating. I wonder why they didn't go for Flash 9. I see alot of potential with new RIAs coming out! There will be a lag and less attractive to use silverlight, from what I've seen so far.</p> Rick, Silverlight is Not better than Flash.

Any experts in the audience, who care to comment on using either one?</p> @Rick, since I’m not a developer I can’t talk about how easy or difficult it is to use either Silverlight or Flash, but Microsoft’s selling point is Silverlight is based on .Net, which many developers are already familiar with.
