It seems it was just yesterday when HP was “working even closer with Microsoft to develop signature phones”, now it seems they are just not interested anymore. Earlier in the year when Mobile World Conference was in full swing, HP took stage with Microsoft to announce their involvement with their latest Windows Phone 7 product. Now after a few months, and a few purchases, it seems they want nothing to do with Microsoft.

In an interview with CNBC, Todd seems to be very clear with their following quote:

"I think it’s clear to say, that we’re very focused on the customer, and giving the customer the experience that’s important to them. We won’t do — will not do a Linux / Android phone. We won’t do a Microsoft phone.".

This seems very sad because I was looking forward to see what HP would bring to counter their #1 competitor Dell. Now we know the list of manufactures is quickly becoming short, but thankfully the good guys are still in.

Working for WMPU is awesome. Love to write personal articles, and I do it very often. I am the reviewing editor (self appointed), so you will see alot of reviews and giveaways from me. I own quite a few devices not just Windows Phone but Android and others. I live in Minnesota, USA and love traveling to other places.
