Windows Phone Thoughts: Sendo Sues Microsoft

Sendo alleges that Microsoft took some proprietary work Sendo did on top of the MS Smartphone reference platform and gave it to other vendors who then released a very Sendo-like solution; in particular, the article cites the HTC/Orange SPV which came out a few days before Sendo cancelled the release of the z100.

This may finally explain why Sendo wanted out of the partnership. I always felt the discussion we had never seemed to explain the suddenness of Sendo's move. Whether it's true or not remains to be seen, however; as the article mentions, the Sendo-MS relationship was rocky for some time amid Sendo's apparent skepticism of the MS platform.
