Microsoft announced the release of Silverlight 4 to the web (RTW) on April 15

Friday, April 16th, 2010

As announced at the Visual Studio 2010, .NET Framework 4 and Silverlight 4 Launch event on April 12, Microsoft has made the Silverlight 4 technology available for download at: www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight. In addition, Microsoft will also deliver a release candidate of Expression Blend 4 (compatible with Silverlight 4). Go to the Expression Studio Web site for more information on this.

Silverlight 4 provides media and enterprise application and media capabilities, out-of-browser flexibility and tools support via Visual Studio and Expression Blend with Sketchflow to enable robust application development and rich interactive experiences, Microsoft said. At Microsoft’s MIX 2010 conference in March, Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s .NET Developer Platform, said Silverlight adoption has continued at a rapid pace with installations approaching 60 percent of all Internet devices worldwide — an increase of nearly 15 percentage points in just four months. Enterprise customers such as Major League Soccer, BBC, eBay Inc., Netflix Inc., NBCOlympics.com and CT Corp., a Wolters Kluwer business, are using Silverlight. Also, customers such as Associated Press and eBay, and partners such as 352 Media and Planview have announced their commitment to Silverlight 4.

Indeed, in just five months, Microsoft has gone from beta to the full release of Silverlight 4, with several milestones along the way, including: The release of Silverlight 4 beta at the Professional Developers Conference in November 2009 which included enhancements for enterprise application developers; as well as the release of Silverlight, Visual Studio and XNA Framework developer toolkits for Windows Phone 7 at MIX. Also at MIX, Microsoft released a release candidate of Silverlight 4.

And at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show earlier in April, Microsoft announced that is working with Intel and Broadcom to deliver the Silverlight platform to set-top boxes, connected TVs, Blu-ray players and other devices . At NAB Microsoft also launched Internet Information Services (IIS) Media Services 4 and the delivery of the Silverlight Media Framework 2.0.

Skyfire to Follow Opera with iPhone Browser

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Apparently Opera Software’s success at getting their Opera Mini for iPhone into the iPhone App Store has inspired the team behind mobile browser Skyfire to congratulate Apple and Opera in a blog post and also talks about their own development for the iPhone platform reports an article over on pocket-lint.

According to the Skyfire blog post, “Everyone at Skyfire was heartened by this decision by Apple, to open up their platform and believe this sets a solid precedent for additional innovation in mobile browsing from other companies. Skyfire believes this approval is a solid first step and there’s still major consumer demand for great rich media and video browsing on these devices”.

They did of course halt before confirming that the Skyfire mobile browser will at some point come to the iPhone but did say…”The Skyfire team has been watching the Opera submission and the iPhone/iPad market closely, and this will certainly accelerate our strategy on iDevices. Nothing to announce now, but stay tuned for news”.

So it does appear that they are at least looking ahead to possibly taking the same route as Opera Mini for iPhone, although just when that may happen is still a mystery, but who knows, Opera’s success may lead to others breaking into the App Store.

Share a comment or problems with phones and networks.

Apple iPhone OS4 Introduces Legal Adobe Flash Block

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Cupertino based Apple Inc., has decided to prevent developers from coding Flash applications for any of its products by legally making its iPhone OS 4.0 incompatible with Adobe’s Flash and other application development software.

According to the iPhone OS 4 SDK Developer Program License Agreement released by the company, developers will have to create applications using Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine because applications which will be created using an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool will not be approved by the company.

With this not-so-surprising move, Steve Jobs, who has been actively campaigning against Adobe Flash, has ensured the exclusion of Adobe and its software from everything even remotely related to Apple, starting with the iPad and its blockbuster iPhone smartphone device.

The new iPhone OS 4.0 SDK licensing agreement will prohibit the use of Adobe’s upcoming Flash-to-iPhone compiler which has been touted as one of USPs of Flash CS5 which will be launched on April 12th.

When contacted, an Adobe spokesperson said in statement that “We are aware of the new SDK language and are looking into it.” while Apple refrained from making any comments regarding the new app development rules.

That was something unexpected and could have some devastating consequences for small developers. Apple seems to have changed its strategy from being neutral (towards the likes of Adobe or Google) and going outright on the offensive.
