Last week I received an invite from AOL’s new mail client written in Silverlight. If you remember, this product was announced at MIX earlier this year. This says a lot about where the technology is going if a big company is willing to go out on a limb and give Silverlight a try. Three features stuck out to me.
- Ads are being delivered in Flash. This means the Windowless property is set to true, which could be a big performance hit. However, since there aren’t many animations or video this probably isn’t a big deal.
- AIM is integrated into the client.
- The UI is skinnable.
Here are some screenshots:
