Look at the Windows 7 Phone SDK if you are interested in Silverlight for mobile.

. If you're doing simple games, then silverlight might be ok, but if you're serious about building games for mobile, look into XNA Studio. It will be the gaming sdk for mobile 7. It also will run on xbox and pc. To get started, watch the videos from MIX
