Tero on the Microsoft Smartphone 2002 Stinger There is an article by Tero in todays "Helsingin Sanomat" titled "Battle Between Nokia and Microsoft Heating Up". helsinki-hs.net Tero's comments in the article: Samsung has previously licensed Microsoft's Smartphone operating system as well, but Opstock technology analyst Tero Kuittinen believes Samsung is now likely to use Symbian, as the Microsoft agreement was only signed "just in case". Samsung's 'Stinger' is looooooooong overdue. It will be interesting to see if Tero is right on this one. Personally, I think Samsung will cover both bases. Additional Tero: Analyst Kuittinen observes that the most surprising thing in the battle between Nokia and Microsoft is how little Microsoft has achieved so far. For example, Microsoft has cooperated with a smaller British handset manufacturer, Sendo. Kuittinen calls this cooperation a disaster. A Sendo phone with Microsoft software was due to come out already in September last year, but the launch has been repeatedly postponed. Kuittinen suspects the reason is that Windows is too complicated and heavy an operating system. - Eric -
