Bill Gates about Windows Mobile @ CES 2006
New Device Partnerships
Another area of investment for us has, of course, been the Windows Mobile area, and we got into that about three years ago. We've seen a great growth in terms of getting down the learning curve, the breadth of the relationships and depth of the relationships we have. And, in fact, we've got more than a hundred Smart Phones out now with 93 mobile operators in 55 countries.
This year we'll ship more than five million devices, which is a 36 percent year over year increase, and we have some really fantastic stuff coming out this year. In fact, probably right at the top of the list I'd put this new device here. This one you probably heard about, we announced it just a few months ago. It's our partnership with Palm, and Palm does a fantastic job on their devices. Here they were able to take our platform and do a number of unique things that had never been done before. They were able to take and build an ability that they would be able to make it all work with a single-click operation.
