The Windows Mobile world got shook up a little earlier this month when Microsoft’s VP of Marketing for WinMo said that the company was looking to cut back on the total number phones out there in order to “be more focused,” but it now looks like that may not entirely be the case. According to TamsPPC, a spokesperson from Microsoft Austria has relayed the message that while Microsoft’s stepped-up efforts to work with its partners may well result in fewer phones, “the implication in The New York Times that Microsoft will limit the number of Windows Mobile devices is not accurate.” So, it seems that Microsoft isn’t exactly throwing a firm number out there, but it also seems like it won’t be too upset if fewer substanard phones make it to market.
