Sendo drops Microsoft; Switches to Nokia
And they say customers don't care about access to the source code:
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - British mobile phone maker Sendo said on Thursday it had abandoned its latest product using software from Microsoft and would build a new phone with rival software from Nokia.
Though Sendo is one of the launching partners in Microsoft's Smartphone program, Chief Executive Hugh Brogan told Reuters the company had given up on its Z100 Smartphone, which had been due for launch within weeks.
"There will not be products based on Microsoft. There is not going to be a Z100," Brogan said.
He said one reason for the switch was that Sendo could get access to the source code for Nokia software and therefore customize products. It could not do that with Microsoft.

At least the HaloScan comments seem to work. I'll have to try to recover template sanity later.

"Definate Views"
Roy Jacobsen points out a bit of wisdom in today's Pibgorn comic.
Which led me to this gem from All Hallow's Eve:
Repress the urge to sprout wings or self-ignite! ... This man is an Episcopalian! ... They have definate views.
(sigh) If only.
(see Spong, John Shelby, Borg, Marcus, and Williams, Abp. Rowan)
Wow
"Psst! Who are all these people coming through the blog, dad?"
"Don't worry -- they're probably just friends of Mark."
"Oh."
Thanks to everyone who's shown up to read the pro-life ad. And thanks to Mark Shea for the link.
