#LATEST VERSION OF MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT FOR MAC DOWNLOAD#
While Silverlight will run on non-Nokia S60-based phones if owners download it, the app won't come installed on the phones until Microsoft inks an OEM agreement with those companies, Case said. All told, more than 150 million S60 devices had been shipped as of last month. Those manufacturers include LG, Samsung, Panasonic and Siemens. Nokia has also licensed the S60 platform to other major makers of smartphones, which are generally defined to be mobile phones boasting color screens and multimedia capabilities. The deal with Nokia, though it is unlikely to help much with Microsoft's near-term target, could help with future milestones. It is aiming for 200 million downloads of Silverlight across all platforms by the middle of this year. It hopes that by 2010, 1 billion mobile phones will have shipped with Flash Lite.Īdobe did not return a request for comment.Īs the challenger to the incumbent Flash, Microsoft's goals are more modest. Adobe said at the time that more than 300 million phones had shipped with Flash Lite.
This "is fairly low risk for Nokia, and given their desire to be agnostic (supporting whatever the end user ultimately wants to use while on the Internet), it allows them to offer end-user choice and the ability to surf to the many sites that will ultimately support Silverlight," Gold said.Īdobe signed a similar deal with Nokia last fall for its Flash Lite player. Users with existing phones will also be to get CDs with the application or to simply download it from the Internet, Case said. When ready, Silverlight will be installed on all of Nokia's new smartphones.
