Nokia announced it will make Microsoft Silverlight 2.0 available for its S60 phones running Symbian OS as well as Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets. Silverlight will give developers opportunities to create rich and interactive applications running on multiple platforms.
The .NET Micro Framework is the smallest runtime available within the .NET Framework. Able to run in only 512k of RAM without an MMU it is targeted at 32-bit processors.
The smallest .NET edition, Micro, is now supported on Analog Devices' Blackfin platform. This makes it the first processor supported by .NET built specifically for digital signal processing.

The .NET Micro Framework is being positioned by Microsoft for very small devices such as sensors, actuators, and wearable electronics. And unlike the .NET Framework, the Micro Framework doesn't even require an operating system.
