Speculating On What a Microsoft Superphone Might Mean
smitty777 writes "Forbes is running an intriguing story on a new 'Superphone' under development by the folks at Microsoft. According to this leaked MS roadmap document, the plan is to build the Apollo-based phone in the 4th quarter of 2012. FTA: 'In the end, however, none of this matters. Microsoft's "peek into the future" is barely a glimpse into what the company may or may not have planned for 2012. While the "superphone" bullet is worth noting, it is not the confirmation of a revolutionary new product. At best, it indicates that Microsoft wishes to compete with Apple by offering a product that is, well, super.' It's also interesting that Sony and AT&T also appear to be working on superphones of their own."
wtf is with the mods marking pro-MS posts flamebait and troll? I happen to think Android is a superior OS, but to mod this post as Troll is an obvious abuse of mod points.

Frankly, it's not new here. The slashdot moderation system is clearly being abused to downmod everyone who says anything positive about MS, or in other discussions that go against /. crowd think (like saying DRM might be good in some situations, or that people like Facebook). And it's not like /. is ever going to fix that either. Reddit's system is much better.
