It's been a while now since I came back from Vegas and the MEDC conference there. Yet one of the things that keeps running through my head about the event. The Silverlight demo on a Windows Mobile.
This was a great show of the cross platform ability that Silverlght can bring to users and developers alike.
But the thing that keeps bugging me the most is the OS... If Windows Mobile is able to run Silverlight applications, why not make the UI of the phone a Silverlight front...
Imagine the possibilitys then... An OS user experiance that would be far greater than the iPhone... By the way, I've had a play with one now and I still welcome it into the market, but would I advise my customers to get one. No...
I know it's a little early to be yacking on about the sucessor to Corssbow (Windows Mobile 6), Photon (Windows Mobile 7?), but I do think we could see an OS that has some Silverlight capabilitys, if not the whole shell.
We are being told that Photon is RTM Q7 and I think it might be a little to early for the whole UI to be changed by then, or maybe not... "New flexible shell" - wikipedia
