Shawn Wildermuth posted overnight about a news story that Microsoft is working with Nokia to get Silverlight working on Symbian phones.

He also links to an article that mentions Silverlight getting a Windows Mobile port.

Now, when Silverlight 1.1 (now 2.0) was first announced as having a subset of the .NET Framework built in, I speculated that this may be the future for mobile development. That one day we may see the .NET Compact Framework disappear in favour of Silverlight. Could this be the start of that? I really hope so.
