10% of Microsoft Employees Rumored to be iPhone Owners

A strange report comes in all the way from The Wall Street Journal. It would seem that the iPhone has rapidly become a very popular phone among Microsoft employees. In fact no less than 10,000 Microsoft employees using iPhone smartphones have been accessing the Microsoft email system which amounts to roughly 10% of Redmond's active "soldiers."

What Microsoft did last year in order to convince more people to switch back to Windows Mobile smartphones was to change its corporate cellphone policy to reimburse service fees for employees using Windows Mobile.

Android Becomes More Popular While Windows Mobile Loses More Market Share

Microsoft Project Pink Gets April 20th Release Date

Microsoft Project Pink Gets April 20th Release Date

Microsoft Project Pink has been hot on everyone lips since we first heard about it last year, now some good news is finally out of the wood works and we can hold our heads high to the sky as the release date draws close. Project Pink phones are looking more like Micorsoft's own version of the Sidekick seeing as they are targeted at snuffy teenagers and look all lady like, and the fact Micorsoft bought Danger, the guys who came up with the first Sidekick back in the day.


Since Project Pink phones are messaging and teenager centric handsets, you most won't find Windows Phone Series 7 OS on them, I'm thinking a whole new, or Windows Mobile 6.5+ which seems more fitting in my eyes and would keep the price down at a bare minimum. Now let's get down to what really matters here, the first set of Project Pink handsets are set for an April 20th launch, and guess which Network is chosen to do the bidding? Big bad boys in red Verizon Wireless.

The same game has been demoed at TechEd Middle East and it can be played on a Windows computer with a keyboard, on an Xbox 360 with a controller and on a Windows Phone 7 thanks to the built-in accelerometer.
