Guest bh27 Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 Check this out: http://www.silicon.com/news/500018-500001/...ml?nl=d20030218 Philippines mobile operator SMART Communications will be the first telco in Asia to launch a phone running Microsoft’s Smartphone 2002 operating system. Microsoft said the device will be available "soon" at an undisclosed price and will be marketed as the 'SMART Amazing Phone'. The colour, tri-band handset will come with 32MB of built-in memory and a clip-on digital camera, the company added in a statement. Despite the software behemoth's efforts to capture a share of the market for next generation converged handhelds, all five of the world's top mobile phone makers - Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson - are planning to make phones using the rival Symbian operating system. Samsung is the lone licensee of Microsoft's Smartphone software among the five. Microsoft recently suffered a big blow when UK handset maker Sendo said it dropped the software giant's Smartphone software in favour of Symbian. See the full article though.
Guest lutzh Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 silicon is just as good as souce as theregister - if there's any chance to pitch ms they'll use it... on the other hand: time for going to court for ms. a court procedure for cartelising against Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson should be successful. like "open your phones for pocket pc 2002 smartphone edition"... that would be funny... cheers, lutz
