Ballmer: Microsoft will be able to independently develop and manufacture mobile phones

According to the technology website Electronista, Microsoft CEO Ballmer said in an interview at the Web 2.0 Summit that despite the fact that many third-party manufacturers currently manufacture Windows phones, Microsoft does not rule out the possibility of independently researching and developing smart phone products. .

According to a Twitter message published by ZDNet reporter Mary-Jo Foley, Ballmer said, "Microsoft will not hesitate to invest in hardware innovation." Ballmer pointed out that Nokia will launch a series of new devices running Windows Phone at Nokia World Congress in London next week. He also criticized competitors saying that "you don't need to be a computer expert to use a Windows phone, but if you use Android, it's not necessarily."
