Software Architect and Top Dawg
I mostly link blog as I let smarter people than I solve problems then I copy them to solve my own. I also post random things I run into the course of my day.
I don't know how I missed this news. I just googled randomly for Silverlight/IPhone.
This is good news for me since I'm total .NET/Mono fanboy. I hope this keeps going forward with more than just video.
The master of MEF, Glenn Block, shows off a simple usage of MEF in Silverlight 4. I hope the later parts show some more complex scenarios as I'm relatively unfamiliar with Silverlight specifics. So far, just client WPF experience for me. I hope to change that soon.

As with any new release, in Silverlight 4, Microsoft has made some changes that developers like and others do not. There are too many to list of the former, and just a handful of the latter, but one of them is quite serious: cross-platform support has become less of a priority
Does anyone really want COM-like support on Mac or Linux?
The HTML control is a problem. I think the only way to fix it is to have a HTML rendering engine built on the CLR. Actually, I wish they'd do this anyways. I really don't like using MSHTML in .NET

The channel9 article for Silverlight 4 Moving-Beyond-the-Browser--Trusted-Applications shows what the new Trusted Applications with Elevated Permissions can do. It feels like it may be an even easier Clickonce scenario.
It can get COM objects and has full file system access. I guess the only catch is if you can write your entire application in Silverlight 4. It seems like more and more people probably can.

Read the technical whitepaper that walks through the new features in Silverlight 4 Beta.
Some of the stuff I was reading on Glenn Block's twitter sounds exciting. I'm afraid for myself that I'm excited about Silverlight 4
