ZDNet: Sendo filing accuses Microsoft of dirty tricks

""Microsoft used Sendo's knowledge and expertise to its benefit to gain direct entry into the burgeoning next-generation mobile phone market and then, after driving Sendo to the brink of bankruptcy, cut it out of the picture."

A high-profile arrangement with Microsoft would have been attractive to Sendo, a small Birmingham-based mobile phone startup formed in 1999 by mobile phone industry veterans."

Everybody knows that when Microsoft comes-a-calling it's time to shit yourself.

Mind I think they're probably right, that it'll mean jack shit what mobile platform you use. It'll be more, what OS it uses. And As everybody is using Microsoft (except m e) everybody will want to tie their phone up with their PC. Unless the phone does everything - which it won't considering its size.
