Motorola is not interested in creating smartphones that use the recently released Windows Mobile 6.5, according to comments from executives during a roundtable discussion.
The world's fourth-largest handset maker had previously said it would be using Windows Mobile for its upper-tier enterprise smartphones, but Christy Wyatt, Motorola's VP of software platform, said there are no plans to support the current generation of Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s mobile operating system. Wyatt indicated the company would wait for Windows Mobile 7, which is expected to be a highly retooled version of the OS and should launch in late 2010. [Information Week...] [Comments...]
