“Microsoft defended its Windows CE operating system today after
news of a major cooperation between 3Com’s Palm Computing and
Psion-led Symbian that will challenge Microsoft for software
supremacy in the burgeoning wireless Internet world.”
“[Microsoft] …was reacting after British handheld computer
company Psion said Symbian–in which it is the biggest
shareholder and which is developing an operating system to let
mobile phones and other wireless devices browse the
Internet–would discuss cross-licensing with Palm
Computing of the United States.”
“The link for Symbian with Palm was seen as a setback for
Microsoft, which has developed Windows CE as its own operating
system for smaller computing devices and it is used by several
major manufacturers like Hewlett- Packard.”
