Comments on: Gates sees big dollars in little devices

Bill Gates says cell phones have yet to catch up to the power of his company's software.

[Stating]

Rich, Richer, Richest

Read any Gates speech and he will use the word "rich" at least once. Must be a Freudian thing.

"The richness of software on mobile devices is just at the beginning. We see certainly a decade's worth of work, where mobile devices can get richer and richer."

Keep MS out of my cell phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing that MS has to offer that I want to see on my cell
phone. And what MS does have to offer could easily turn out to be
a worse job of programming than Windows Whatever.

Just give me a cell phone that can communicate. I already have
other devices for the mickey mouse phone functions MS proposes.

Microsoft is the answer

I live and work in the IT world and have been carrying the Audiovox 6600. This windows mobile device blows the socks off that insignificant problem laden Treo. Trust Bill Gates to take a piece of crap and make it better.

More Like domination

Microsoft likes to say that they would contribute to all devices
where software makes a difference. More like they try to dominate
every device where software makes the difference. Am I the only
person who does not want my windows based washing machine to
get a virus?

scary, yes. but a logical move nonetheless.

while it may be scary to imagine microsoft software on every digital device available, it still makes sense from a business point of view. they want to maintain growth, and to do that, must seek new markets to enter. and with their huge bankroll, they are able to take the risks to enter those markets.
