Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 is apparently quite capable of running a Game Boy emulator, on Silverlight and all. The emulator is still a work in progress, but the important thing to remember is that it works so far, opening up the possibility for many more emulators for the platform.
The creator, Samuel Blanchard, writes that the emulator is far from complete. He says that it lacks RAM management and the ability to backup the game state, but he says games are still playable. He also emphasizes that the display is very quick, thanks to a trick he will discuss in a future article. This is all written and French, and so is the video demonstration:
