Hi all, Was thinkin over the weekend about the thought of making a small app for a mobile device with silverlight and ideablade. Just wondering if anyone can fill me in on if it is possible that Windows mobile will support silverlight and ideablade (and whether a normal silverlight app will just port straight over to windows mobile)? If not, whether there is any thought of doing so.

Thanks

Here's more info from Microsoft on Silverlight for mobile - http://silverlight.net/learn/mobile.aspx - http://silverlight.net/learn/mobile.aspx

Hi Kim, So from what I can gather Microsoft are planning to release Silverlight for Mobile along with the release of Windows Mobile 6.5. What is Ideablade's stance on supporting this version of silverlight?

Thanks

Firstly, SL Mobile is still [or not even] in CTP. Secondly, it needs to catchup to SL3. Until, it's stable, it's hard for third party to support or show a stand on a moving target. I think once Window 7 and Mobile 7 come out, you'll see a better story from Sl Mobile.

Once Silverlight Mobile supports Silverlight 3, DevForce should be in pretty good shape.  Microsoft claims the APIs will be consistent between the web and mobile version (although you might pick a different control suite that fits the form factor better).  From what I've heard it looks like it's about a year out.
