Speaking at a conference, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that the company will do better at getting Windows Mobile products and updates to market sooner. Responding to a question about the wave of competing devices such as the iPhone and G1, Ballmer said, "There are opportunities for us to accelerate our execution in this area. We've done a lot of work to make sure we have a team that will be able to accelerate it." Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6.5 earlier this year and plans to have it in the market by the end of 2009. It also confirmed that Windows Mobile 7 will be available some time in 2010.
