Hi Greg,
I think once Windows Mobile 7 hits (and the inevitable quick succession
of point releases) Silverlight will start to take off and (finally)
begin the journey towards being a prominent target for business
application. I'm sure we all feel the mobile application movement hasn'
t been realised yet*; we're still only in the foothills of that dream;
but Silverlight is such a compelling platform because it extends
existing .NET skillsets rather than requiring developers to climb a
vertical learning curve.
Where I work is already developing iPhone applications (mainly for
customer gimmick, riding the gadget wave) though there has been talk
about long term projects using Silverlight on Windows Mobile phones.
I would argue that business should definitely consider using the tools
available now to develop Silverlight apps for Windows Mobile. The tools
appear very mature even at this early stage; hopefully a sign that
Microsoft are taking special care to get this right.
It all looks exciting to me, even from my WPF world.
Carl.
* iPhone users would probably argue against this, but there's more to
mobile than iPhones, iPads, and Apple

Hi Perry,
Thanks for that, I am more focused here on examples of true business
applications.
Not that video presentation can not be a true business application.
Yes there are some in the showcase.
But I am thinking more about things like company X developed a
Silverlight add in to their line of business application allowing remote
data entry or whatever.
That is applications that are NOT using all the Silverlight UI wizardry!
I feel that there is a real perception problem out there, you have to
use all the Silverlight UI wizardry, even for simple line of business
applications.
Also, if possible, looking for more local stuff.
Thanks
Greg

Well you have NetFlix on demand in the US that uses Silverlight
exclusively for their online streaming. The Beijing and Vancouver
Olympics were using Silverlight exclusively for NBC and CTV networks in
US and Canada respectively. You then have the showcase here to take a
look at:

Subject: Who is using Silverlight?
Hi Everybody,
I am putting together a presentation on Silverlight for managers,
basically a "why you should not be afraid of using this technology".
There is one area that I am missing information on, that is who is using
Silverlight.
Question for the group:
. Who is using Silverlight in Australia? / Overseas?
. What for?
. Is there public information available about the project?
My interest is more focused on real business applications rather than
just cute show off the user interface technology.
Thanks
Greg Harris
