Microsoft Enters the Cell Phone OS Market
PuZZLeR writes: "Today, Microsoft unveiled a new operating system for mobile phones (named 'Windows Powered Smartphone 2002') and plans to fully enter the wireless data devices with voice capabilities by utilizing both cellphones and PDA devices. TI already created a reference design for the Ms powered phone. While this sounds like Microsoft is going after Handspring, RIM or Danger, cellphone OS manufactures, like Nokia and OpenWave are expected to counteract to the announcements. Today, Nokia announced it will offer mobile phone makers its own development kit and OS."

You're probably one of those people that wants cheap reliable service ... maybe with a small tax increment to subsidize universal access policies in remote areas etc. etc.
... get with the program - this is the knowledge-based information economy: all the best of technology is brought to us by pure power of the darwinian marketplace. So quit whining and either get back to working on your genetic therapy patent application (but I doubt you have one since you are so obviously a *moron*); or go back to your rustic log cabin in the woods and read Walden or something ...
Well, you dinosaur
:-P
