Thursday November 5, 8:32 pm Eastern Time Ericsson unconcerned by Microsoft mobile move STOCKHOLM, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Swedish telecoms equipment maker Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson is not concerned by a move by Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM - news) into mobile telephones, a senior company official said on Thursday. ''We don't see anything new or exceptional in this development,'' Jan Ahrenbring, marketing director of Ericsson Mobile Telephones, told Reuters. ''We are not surprised, there has long been a trend towards developing wireless data communication,'' he said. ''For this to work it needs suitable software with good applications.'' Ericsson is prepared for hard competition in this area, Ahrenbring said. Microsoft and Qualcomm will unveil wireless communications a joint venture next Tuesday. Ericsson, its U.S and Finnish rivals Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - news) and Nokia and Britain's Psion (quote from Yahoo!

Analysts expect the Microsoft-Qualcomm venture to develop advanced mobile telephones using Microsoft's Windows CE operating system
