Aside from the numerous applications already available, Nokia announced that S60 devices will soon be able to work with Microsoft’s Silverlight plug-in which will allow users to enjoy a more dynamic, media-rich internet experience. Some of the more popular websites that run Silverlight applications are Entertainment Tonight, NBA and NBC Universal. By making S60 devices compatible with this application, it now becomes more versatile and comes even closer to how a desktop browser works albeit the lack of a mouse and full keyboard. It also paves the way for developers to work with a wider range of development environments which already include C++ (using native Symbian OS APIs and Open C providing subset of standard POSIX libraries), S60 Web Run-time (supporting standards-based web technologies such as Ajax, JavaScript, CSS and HTML), Java language, Flash Lite from Adobe, and Python.
According to Nokia, Silverlight will also be made available for Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet Tablets at a later date.
