Robbie Bach touts Windows Mobile over iPhone, Blac

30 Jul 2010

“We will outsell the iPhone,” he told the newspaper.”We will outsell the BlackBerry.”

Bach also touched on entertainment issues, including Microsoft’s backing of the now-largely extinct HD DVD format, pointing out that many consumers say they can’t see a substantial picture quality improvement with next-generation discs.

For one there’s simple linking to media publishing services you’re already using like Flickr, YouTube and Blogger. I’ve seen some travel sites come through and attempt to steal away that conversation from popular blogging tools with their [...]
