Microsoft today shared more information on how it plans to help its business customers adopt its future mobile platforms. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said in a webcast, "In the next six months we will release a new embedded OS called Windows Embedded Handheld, based on Windows Mobile 6.5 technologies ... [and] in the second half of 2011, we will release a version of Windows Embedded Handheld based on Windows Phone 7 technology." He also indicated that the company will "[work] on a clear path for enterprises to migrate their line-of-business applications to our new application platform" to Windows Phone 7. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is the current version available to consumers and businesses. Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 in February, plans to finish the main code within the next few weeks, and release the first wave of WP7 devices by the holiday shopping season.

There's a little life left in it...

Somebody is putting overtime!!!

It sounds like MS is keeping itself busy to try to recuperate market. I am eligible to upgrade now, but to be honest, I'm waiting for this next big thing (WP7) not saying I will get one, but I will compare iPn' 4(AAPL), Android(GOOG), BlkBry(RIMM), & WP7(MSFT)... and let the winner take my money and my signature on a contract. Applause for MSft 😉
