An article rom Wired News on Microsoft's attempts to enter the mobile phone market. They are eyeing Nokia as their main target, and it sounds like Nokia has been worried for a while. Are we looking at the beginning of a war between Windows CE and Symbian?
"We are running a startup inside of Microsoft," said Juha Christensen, vice president of Microsoft's mobile device division. "We are focused on a separate set of competitors, different from the rest of our competitors..."
Its going to be an up hill battle for sure. They have Samsung signed up for CE phones, which according to the article represents 7.5 percent of the mobile phone market, so that's not a bad start.
At the end of his spiel, Christensen drew a couple of business cards from a box to give away Compaq Ipaq Pocket PCs. To the audiences amusement, the first device went to a Nokia employee.

See people, there are some markets they don't dominate! Games is another...
