I just read my RSS feeds this morning and came across this. I guess this might be something that will be announced during MIX10. It has already been taking down from Microsoft Download Center.

Here’s a screenshot of it from my RSS reader.

Anyway, here are the descriptions of those 2 downloads:

Microsoft® Silverlight™ for Symbian – Beta

The installable executable enables user to run Silverlight applications on the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform.

Microsoft® Silverlight™ for Symbian – Beta Developer Tools

The installable executable file enables users to run Silverlight applications on the Nokia S60 5th Edition platform. The executable file includes the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition devices, the Silverlight runtime for Nokia S60 5th Edition emulator, sample applications, and developer documentation.

And there we have it. Anyone excited? All the more reason to learn Silverlight now!

Did you know Martin Cooper is the inventor of the most successful and widely used technology in the world, the cellphone? Well, neither did I, until he went on TV.

He recently gave up his iPhone for a Droid, and joined the whole twitter-sphere. You can follow him on twitter @martymobile: http://twitter.com/martymobile

Just listen to his intellectual and wise words regarding how to solve the increasing use of the limited resources of wireless spectrum on The Communicators. I think he handled the tough questions very objectively and held his position on improving the efficiency of usage.

Respect. Enjoy the video.
