Microsoft WinMo’s Answers to Competition
In an interview with the NYTimes, Todd Peters, the vice president of marketing for the Windows Mobile division, explaining Microsoft plans a major announcement at the Mobile World Congress, a trade show scheduled for next month in Barcelona. (we might see a change from this previous leaked roadmap)
When answer to question how Microsoft plans to stay competitive facing the recent competitive landscape, his answer is “by limiting the number of devices built with the Windows Mobile operating system. At present, there are around 140 such devices, from a range of cell phone makers, from Samsung to Palm and many in between….The reason that Microsoft is limiting the number of phones with the operating system is because, he said, “the company does not want to have its efforts diluted over too many devices. I’d rather have fewer devices and be more focused,” he said. That way “we get better integration between phone and operating system”.
In addition, from the CES floor, Robin Bach, VP of Entertainment division, also confirmed to Gizmodo the future Windows Mobile version will certainly emphasize more on consumer side. On this end, we know, Microsoft already has in its sleeves: Danger team and Zune team…And after a wake-up call from Palm, Microsoft might have to move its WM7 development quicker than they had planned.
