INTERVIEW: Microsoft will not compete with Apple's iPhone but continues with Windows Mobile

Published: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:35:04 +0100

In

an interview with German
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates made clear
that Microsoft will not (yet?) launch a product that directly competes with
Apple's iPhone. This was speculated after the first

Windows Mobile 7 screenshots

unveiled earlier this week.
In the interview, Gates is quoted that Microsoft don't want to that (competing
with the iPhone) but rather continue to concentrate on the Windows Mobile
platform itself. At the end - if you read between the lines - it also means that
"Zune Phone" cannot be expected anytime soon - as long as Zune isn't part of the
Windows Mobile platform itself (think of an updated Windows Media Player
experience):
