Motorola’s earnings conference call today was mostly about dismal financial results, but CEO Sanjay Jha let slip some Windows Mobile 7 information in discussing their future mobile phone handset efforts:
"As you know, Windows 6 series is available in 2009 and as compared to Android, we believe in 2009 Android is more competitive; more of our effort and focus in 2009 is going to Android, but in 2010 when Windows 7 will become available, we will then participate in a more focused way in Windows Mobile 7 in 2010."
That’s in line with previous Windows Mobile 7 rumors, but Motorola skipping the apparently imminent Windows Mobile 6.5 for a newfound interest in Android isn’t good news for Microsoft.
