Chinese cell phone vendor "Legend" does not exclude cooperation with Microsoft August 15, 2003 [General] | By anonymous 1. Although Legend uses its own proprietary operating system - Hopen OS - in its lately released cell phones, it is open to cooperation with Microsoft: "We have a long co-operation with Microsoft in the computer business," Fei said. "So we are not excluding the possibility of using Microsoft's operating system in our future PDA-phones." "Nowadays, cellphones are becoming increasingly smarter devices, a trend which we must not ignore," he said. A report released last week by data tracking firm IDC indicated global shipments of PDA-phones in the second quarter increased a whopping 330.7 per cent year-on-year. Legend expects smart phones to boost its sales in China's highly competitive market, where manufacturers have watched profit margins decrease due to a production glut and aggressive price cuts in the low-end and mid-range segments. It looks like established phone vendors like Nokia from Eastern Europe and North American Motorola will have very big problems in China: local Chinese vendors want to shake up the market, and since Chinese people quite often prefer Chinese products, rather than foreign one, they have very good chances! It is also on opportunity for Microsoft to offer cell phone software for hardware made in China. For more information click here.
