voop

agree.

Microsoft/Ericsson is a marriage arranged in hell - the devil's doing. (Except I don't think either of the latter exist - but what the h.... )

MSFT has no repeat no advantages in this. Ericsson has none either. They are both big - period.

Fast, agile - noway, nohow.

And the culture clash. Wish I could see them "cooperating" up close. Should be a laugh riot.

As the old saying goes, "not to worry" - at least the leaders in the wireless/internet nexus have nothing to worry about from this pair.

And actually expect them to be handcapped by trying to work together. A sort of lose/lose combination of losers.

All just IMO of course. But based on a bit of knowledge.

Voop, engineer or Clark would be a more reliable source (stating the obvious? <gg>), but my take is that mobile MMEx is not RF based and is therefore atheistic when it comes to CDMA, GSM or TDMA or any of the 2.5G or 3G flavors thereof. I think MMEx is more a user interface/software/platform for the browser and how the DSP mediates with that platform.
