Microsoft are getting ready to fight back by teaming with some OEM manufacturers. Lets see if they can make their Windows Mobile range more friendly.

You may have seen the post I made yesterday about the Zune phone, and that it will be a Windows Mobile device, but hopefully Microsoft can make the device more appealing by teaming with these OEM manufacturers.

Rumours have also appeared that the new Windows Mobile 7 will be much friendlier to use and offer “a more Zune-like” experience. If Microsoft can do this successfully then WinMo 7 will definitely be more user friendly, and it would also be a perfect match up for their Zune phone (which could be what they are designing it for?). So maybe Microsoft are still in with a fighting chance at building their fan-base back up.
