So far, so good. The explosion of smart devices, particularly phones and tablets, is notable. Almost all of them are devices running Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android software, though. Microsoft has its own mobile operating system in Windows Mobile, of course, and should get a boost next year from Windows 8 for phones and tablets. A seemingly careless statement to a French Web site by an executive at Nokia, Microsoft’s close partner in phones, indicates that Nokia will have a Windows 8 tablet in June.
