Microsoft, Motorola Working on Cell Phone Software | |

Microsoft Corp. is working toward a deal to provide software for Motorola Inc.'s cell phones for sale to customers of Orange, France Telecom's wireless carrier said. A deal with Motorola, which recently unloaded its 19 percent stake in Symbian, a Microsoft competitor in mobile phone software, would represent a significant step for the world's largest software maker, which is trying to penetrate the market for mobile phone operating systems. Orange initially flagged the possibility of a deal in a June statement. The Financial Times, without citing sources, reported on Thursday that a Microsoft-powered phone by Motorola would be launched this month. Motorola, the world's second-largest handset maker, was not immediately available for comment and a Microsoft spokeswoman did not confirm any deal with Motorola. A France Telecom spokeswoman in the United States said that Orange was working toward a deal that included Microsoft-powered software on an Orange mobile phone. | ||

Don't trip over yourself while you spew this silly theory: "Moto finally got tired of Nokia's thinly veiled attempt to win a stake in the mobile phone OS market for themselves by controlling Symbian."
"Moto hears the demand for Windows phones." Demand? Orange still hasn't completely sold the first shipment of 250,000 HTC phones. So Moto has no clue about MS's "thinly veiled attempt to win a stake in the mobile phone OS market for themselves."? Or are you suggesting that it doesn't it? Or that control by MS is preferable to an open consortium? |
