Microsoft will release a multi-purpose cell phone next year.
I'm taking bets.
Duh, but it'll be a phone with buttons and maybe a touchscreen. huge and brown.
They don't need to seeing as though they already own most of the smartphone and PDA market with Windows Mobile.

Why brown?
Only if they some one do a handheld gaming device/cell phone combination.

Microsoft's staying in the software business, thank you very much. Idiot.

Zune?
Xbox 360?
Keyboards & Mouses?
They're not all software.

Why wouldn't they branch out? They've already proven that they're willing to do hardware.

They have Windows Mobile so they're going to keep improving it rather than making another smartphone.

But they don't make their own smartphones.

Yeah.... so what's your point? If you're just trying to fuck with one word in that post, you're an idiot.

Making their own hardware would draw more attention to the software, plus they seem to like doing whatever Apple is doing.
don't hate on the MS. Sure, nearly everything they make is crap, but come on, Bill Gates donates to charity.

It'd be a waste of time and money to market it like that seeing as though Windows Mobile already dominates the smartphone/PDA market for business users.

You're a fucking idiot. Just Windows and the Zune is shit. psyduck;
And Bill Gates doesn't code everything Microsoft does, you idiot. He's probably one of the least influential people in Microsoft right now.

I'm not hating on MS. I'm just observing their tendency to mimic Apple.
So, um what did they mimic so far?

Zune isn't that bad, but you got a point about Bill Gates.

quick search turns up a somewhat outdated source (http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8804000399.html) claiming that symbian smartphones are, by far, the most popular, with embedded linux and palm os beating out windows mobile
i would think now, however, that windows mobile would have overtaken palm os

I doubt Windows Mobile has overtaken Symbian, though.

The only reason he's famous is because he stole Macintosh material and modified it for Windows.
...of course, the only reason Macintosh made it is because Apple stole the graphical interface and cursor display system from Xerox.
Just goes to show that stealing is how to make it big. thumbup;

And like the 360 controllers using the design of the PS2 controller?
I'm sick of all the shit about Sony stealing everything. Companies use ideas from other companies. Not just Sony.

PS2 controller sucks ass. At least the 360 controller is comfortable.
Do you see Title getting banned in the near future? china;
