Rumor of the Day: Microsoft to Create Its Own Windows Mobile Device?
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"As Taiwanese DigiTimes reported today, Microsoft is cooperating closely with four Taiwanese enterprises and a local research organization through its Microsoft Technology Center in Taiwan (MTC) to develop various multimedia devices, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner pointed out at yesterday a press conference held in Taipei."
The::Unwired additionally points to another report that quotes Ballmer as stating that Microsoft is interested in competing against the likes of Apple in terms of hardware for mobile devices. This would be an interesting direction from Microsoft to say the least. Though they've long influenced the direction of technology roadmaps for PC and PPC vendors, they've never ventured into the realm of creating their own devices. Is this a good thing? Give us your thoughts.
