I never trust such moves by Microsoft. What are they really trying to do? Do they think that MPEG-4 is going to be impossible to beat unless they make this move? It's true that MPEG-4 has probably got the largest share of the market but that usually wouldn't scare Microsoft. 10:59:00 AM Microsoft is making another go at getting a foothold in the cellphone market. This time they are partnering with Motorola [ArsTechnica].

Microsoft has a lot to offer business people in terms of integration with the desktop. It only makes sense. Not that I am eager to see them attempt to dominate this market, but it does make sense to have their product available in the cellphone market. 10:46:38 AM
