Is Silverlight for Mobile now available?

Is Silverlight for Mobile now available as of today, April 21, 2010?

Is it supported in Windows Mobile 6 phones? I read that it will only be supported in Windows 7 Phones http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/02/can-silverlight-save-windows-mobile-from-plummeting-sales.ars

It is still in Community Technical Preview for Windows Phone 7 (as of 21 April 2010) and it is not compatible with Visual Studio 2010 RTM Version. The emulator is supposed to be pretty good so we can develop against it.

Is it supported in Windows Mobile 6 phones?

It is not available for WM6 (yet). I am not sure with their plan.

from Wikipedia:

The first Community Technology Preview (CTP) for Windows Mobile 6 was expected in the 2nd Quarter of 2008, but it still not officially announced. Microsoft has stopped focusing on bringing Silverlight to Windows Mobile 6.x and is planning to include it in Windows Mobile 7.[55]

The Developer Tools can be downloaded here, but there aren't any Windows Phone 7 devices released yet.
