Nokia has announced support for Silverlight

Nokia and Microsoft are working together to put Silverlight on Nokia's high-end smarthphones that run on the S60 platform, which uses Symbian. This is great news as it will bring the rich technology from the desktop to Mobile devices.

Silverlight allows designers and developers to produce rich web applications that are independent of browser, operating system and handset.
