Rumor: Mobile version of IE9 to appear "well before fall 2011", to include Silverlight

As you most probably know a massive Windows Phone update is scheduled to appear in late 2011. Codenamed Mango, it's set to bring multitasking and a mobile browser based on IE9 among other goodies. Now, however, a tipster at WMPoweruser has a different information - he/she claims this browser will be separately released from Mango "well before fall 2011" and will support not only HTML5, but also Silverlight.

This info, if true, is certainly a great news for all early adopters of Windows Phone 7, since a good mobile browser is of great importance for most smartphone owners.

The first Windows Phone update, codenamed NoDo, is expected to roll out in the coming days.
