Here Come The Microsoft Powered Mobile Phones
It certainly took some time, but it appears that Microsoft-powered mobile phones are finally entering the market. While Symbian and Palm have a bit of a headstart, it's always a little scary when Microsoft decides they want to dominate your market. Orange SA says they're going to release a Microsoft Smartphone-based phone by the end of this month in the UK, and Microsoft is pushing hard to make this a successful launch.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
