Microsoft signals it is intent on going mobile

I'm not a Microsoft fan, but here goes.

Microsoft will today make its biggest-ever pitch to persuade the world to use its mobile phones, reports The Guardian Unlimited

"The American software giant has signed a deal with Flextronics, the world's largest contract maker of handsets, to develop a new camera phone, code-named Peabody, which is aimed at the mass market.

Peabody, a slimmed down version of Microsoft's existing handset, the SPV, has the latest Windows software, Bluetooth and a camera installed."

Here's a better idea: Motorola to sell phones for less than $40 in emerging markets
