So we’re just at the beginning of our mobile phone thing says Bill Gates in this interview and shows his understanding that not Symbian (anyway owned by Nokia in almost 50%), but Nokia is Microsoft's main enemy: The next version of Windows Mobile is due out later this year, what is Microsoft going to do to overtake Symbian as the dominant operating system for smartphones? You really wouldn’t say Symbian, they’re really just an ingredient provider to a few people. You really have to say Nokia
Furthermore he confirms that Windows Mobile will be targeting all users, not just enterprise customers: There’s no nothing inherent about Windows Mobile that impedes us in anyway from competing for the full spectrum of phone users. These phones are rich 32-bit data-oriented and you want to connect up to the Internet and the PC so that plays to our strength To read this interview in full click here - it was published by Engadget, and is a "dream come truth" for Engadget and for their owners WeblogsInc because previously their main competitor - Gizmodo - also scored interview with Bill Gates! However Gizmodo's interview was more generic and Engadget's interview with Bill Gates is much more concentrated on mobile devices, Windows Mobile and mobile phones!
