Nokia said on Tuesday it would add support to Microsoft's Silverlight Web video technology to millions of its handsets, in the latest deal between the two technology giants.
The world's top cell phone maker Nokia said Silverlight would first be available for S60 software platform, used in more advanced phones, but later also for S40, which is used in many of Nokia's cheaper phones.
Nokia's S60 software, built on UK-based mobile phone software firm Symbian's operating system, is used extensively in Nokia's line-up, but also in advanced cell phones of LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics.
The S60 is used in every second smartphone sold globally, and is in more than 150 million phones sold so far.
