New full time employee in Windows Mobile team: Program Manager in the Windows Mobile Developer Experience June 08, 2004 [General] | By Edward J. R. Who is the lucky person? Who could it be? Read on... It is Robert Levy and here is how he himself describes his new luck: On Tuesday, my internship at Microsoft was put to an early end and I signed on full time. I will be the Program Manager in the Windows Mobile Developer Experience team responsible for driving forwards, backwards, and sideways compatibility across our platform. It's an exciting position where I'll be working with a great group of brilliant and passionate people on an area where we have a lot of challenges and room for improvement. It looks like Windows Mobile team at Microsoft grows constantly and Microsoft prefers to employ young people - no wonder: Microsoft has very long-term, and very extensive, plans related to cell phone industry ... ... long-term or not, but we can observe already now some interesting trends: 
... that shows that market share of vendors that don't use Microsoft software in cell phones are either dropping or staying unchanged and market share of vendors selling cell phones powered by Microsoft software are raising! Furthermore it is worth mentioning that Nokia owns majority stake in Symbian (software) but at the same time is making also hardware: 
(on picture above: assembly line - located in Nokia's own factory - for Nokia N-Gage smartphones powered by Symbian OS) ... so for hardware vendors in fact only Microsoft software for cell phones constitutes rational proposition! Microsoft doesn't make any cell phone hardware so Microsoft is not competing with its own license takers.
