"Microsoft Silverlight availability for Nokia Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets will be confirmed later."

Doesnt sound like this is necessarily certain to me.

Agreed, the ITOS support is effectively a footnote - I believe they want to do it; but until we see more information (possibly including Novell as technology provider) it could be one of those "let's do a tie up for these platforms, oh; and we've got this little thing over here too" things, which gets quietly forgotten later on.

Cheers,

Andrew
