Motorola MPx200 smartphone sighted in the pocket of Bill Gates November 17, 2003 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. During his keynote speech for Comdex 2003 Bill Gates pulled out Motorola MPx200 smartphone from his pocket:
... and said: Also in this year we made a lot of progress in the pocket form factor. Of course, there's a trend in the phone devices to not just be voice but to also be very rich data devices, whether that means text messages, voice messages, e-mail, photos, ability to run software on these devices, and now we have great development tools, standard Visual Studio that can target these devices and do neat things. This particular device, a super nice one made by Motorola; we've got Samsung making devices, many other people, and a lot of scenarios that are very important where you just automatically get your Outlook capabilities onto this device. Likewise, you get your Outlook calendar on this device, your lists, your contacts, those kinds of things. And so we definitely have started down this path of Seamless Computing and devices working together. So the ice is broken: Microsoft powered cell phones, thanks to the small and handy Microsoft smartphones, are becoming slowly a mainstream.
