Silverlight Mobile coming to WinMo 7!

Flash has long been the holy grail if you will of the mobile internet world.  If a handset manufacturer and mobile OS developer can get flash, they’ve got an instant hit…more or less.  Even the almighty iPhone lacks flash.  Though, Jobs claimed it was of poor performance that didn’t meet their stict requirements for a desierable user experience.  Microsoft has long been in development of a flash fighter dubbed “Silverlight”.  This inhouse “flash-type” software allows rich video/audio/whatever else you want content to be interacted with rigth inside of your web browser.  Today, mobile internet junkies have another item to put in that “I want it now” imaginary bag in their mind along with iPhone copy & paste as Microsoft has revealed that Silverlight mobile will debut in Windows Mobile 7.  Unfortunately they weren’t quick enough to make the WinMo 6.5 cut.  While sad, it could be a blessing in disguise as other rushed products have turned out quite poorly…*I’m looking at you vista*.  So sit back, relax, and feel the contentment of knowing that the web will be a little richer come early next year.
