Brad Becker Talks About Silverlight For Mobiles

Ewan Spence, from AllAboutSymbian, is attending MIX08 and managed to get a few minutes with Brad Becker, who is the Group Project Manager for the User Experience Platform and Tools Marketing Group at Microsoft (that’s GPM-UEPaTMG, for short), for a nice chat about Silverlight, which we announced earlier last week as coming to Nokia’s product lines, including their Symbian S60 handsets.

I really like Brad’s statements that there won’t be a ‘Silverlight Lite’ for mobile devices. It will be the same for all, though applications will likely need to be recompiled for mobiles. As Brad points out, this works good because developers will be able to take the guts of their application and tweak it specially for the mobile.

I’m excited to see how this all pans out later this year.
