Silverlight is only supported as the development language for Windows Phone 7.
Java is used for Android.

You could use Silverlight for WP7, MonoTouch for iOS, and Mono for Android for Android. This would allow you to stay in .Net and C#, but still produce apps for all three platforms. Just a note though, MonoTouch and Mono for Android are not free.
