How Death of WebOS Affects Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 12:33 EST/17:33 GMT | News Source: The Street.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Microsoft is making the most of WebOS's demise. The company has been wooing the abandoned WebOS developers with free phones and goodies in order to attract them to the Windows Phone 7 platform. After HP announced that it would discontinue WebOS, Brandon Watson, Senior Director of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 business, announced on Twitter that Microsoft will be giving free Windows Phone 7 phones and training to all published WebOS developers. With WebOS dead, and the future of RIM's QNX looking bleak, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 remains one of the most promising alternatives to Google's Android and Apple's iOS platforms. Apple doesn't license its software to other hardware manufacturers, and Google's recent Motorola acquisition has prompted other smartphone and tablet makers like HTC, Samsung and LG to start looking at other alternatives. HTC, Samsung and Nokia are already working on a new range of Windows Phone 7 devices which will compete with Android and iOS across the entire price spectrum. | ||
