Is Wireless Knowledge toast? Isn't that the question of the day? I thought that WK was supposed to enable enterprise wireless solutions such as mobile access to e-mail and other enterprise applications. Within the last few weeks, John Major was ousted, a new MSFT officer put in as CEO, this amidst the delays in introductions of WK product. Has the hagfish trumped Q's efforts in this area, and what does it mean for dissemination of a (CDMA?-) viable wireless networking for the corporate customer?

Microsoft/Ericsson joint venture was probably prompted by the imminent sale of the Qualcomm's handset division to somebody other than Microsoft. Microsoft probably feels that after the sale of the handset division, Wireless Knowledge would not have much industry leverage.
The other motivation for Microsoft is probably the wish to splinter the Symbian alliance. One of the best ways to win a victory is to splinter the enemy's forces.
