Video demo of Silverlight on Windows Mobile
Earlier this week, I focused on the mobile aspect of Silverlight because I felt it was overlooked by many other accounts of the new Microsoft platform. Today, I noticed that Arne Hess posted a video demo of a Silverlight app running on Windows Mobile. The quality of the video isn’t wonderful, but don’t judge the platform based on that; watch it for the concept to see where Microsoft will let Windows Mobile developers take you in the future.
Couple of quick general points:
- Silverlight is vector-graphics based which provides for good scalability between different screen resolutions
- It supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python and Ruby and provides developers access to the .NET Framework
- It works across platforms and browsers
Update: there’s a higher quality video on YouTube here.
