After several false starts, Microsoft has launched an all-out assault on the mobile phone business. The prize: a chunk of the emerging market for PC-like "smart" phones, which could be one of the technology sector's next big things.

Of the 431 million cellphones expected to be sold this year, 14 million will be smart phones , up from 4 million last year, technology research firm IDC says. Microsoft, anticipating the day when PC and phone functions merge, has tried for three years to insert a miniature version of its Windows operating system into cellphones. | ||
