BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - Apple Inc. rocked the wireless business by combining the functions of a phone and an iPod. Now Microsoft Corp. has its comeback: phone software that works a lot like its own Zune media player.
The new software is being unveiled Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It is a dramatic change from previous generations of Windows Mobile. But Microsoft is sticking to its model of making the software and selling it to phone manufacturers, rather than making its own phones.
It is a crucial product for Microsoft, which has been losing market share in phone software while Apple and Google Inc.'s Android gained. The market is becoming increasingly important as people are spending more time online on their phones.
