Tomorrow at the 3GSM World Congress, Microsoft Corp. will hold a worldwide preview of its smart phone platform, currently code-named "Stinger," the software powering a new generation of color mobile phones with advanced mobile Internet and personal information management (PIM) functionality. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Sendo Ltd., the first publicly announced hardware manufacturers for the platform, will demonstrate prototype devices at the 3GSM World Congress running beta "Stinger" software, and Trium announced plans to build a "Stinger"-based smart phone. "Stinger" sets a new standard for smart phone size and functionality, designed specifically to take advantage of 2.5G and 3G broadband wireless networks and enable a wealth of services such as secure corporate and Web access, e-mail and up-to-date PIM.
