Microsoft Will Not Release iPhone Killer

Microsoft won't be releasing a phone that will rival with Apple's big hit iPhone

No iPhone Killer from Microsoft

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said that Microsoft will not be releasing a phone that will rival Apple's already famous iPhone.

"No, we won't do that. In the so-called smart phone business we will concentrate solely on software with our Windows Mobile program," Gates was quoted as saying in the interview published on Wednesday.

"We have partnerships with a lot of device manufacturers from Samsung to Motorola and this variety brings us significantly more than if we would make our own mobile phone," he added.

Microsoft may be learning from it's Zune digital music player, who said it was going to be the iPod killer.
