  1. Microsoft and "standards" by MosesJones · · Score: 2, Flamebait


    Umm two standards from Microsoft with one thing in common.....

    Microsoft

    Well what a suprise, in some ways this must be a massive boon to the people associated with Symbian as it means Microsoft has a fragmented strategy and is pissing off its partners. Could this be the beasts strategy for this market, lots of deals with lots of people so it doesn't progress anywhere ? Wait till Moore's law allows WindowsXP to run on Mobiles, probably 5 years by my calculations.

  2. ARM by Lewisham · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The ones to watch out for are ARM. They have a tendency to sneak their way into practically everything: cars, mobile phones, PSIONs, even your Gameboy Advance.

    They have their sticky thumbs in a lot of different pies and because of the practical collapse of PSION handhelds, are probably itching to get back into the palmtop market.

    Oh, they're also in your iPod too, and quite possibly your car :)
