Microsoft to release iPhone competitors in 2010
Microsoft is going to challenge Apple in yet another segment after challenging it with the Zune HD against the iTouch, which is quite impressive.
Steve Jobs iPhone which is on top of the shelf with the best smartphone ever and is still going strong, will be targeted by Microsoft which is said to be releasing 2 Slider phones at CES in January 2010. Developed under the project "Pink".
They will be done with collaboration with SHARP and will be named "Microsoft+Sharp" products.
One of the Sliders is codenamed as "Turtle" as you can see form the picture that it shows some similarity with the creature.
And the other one is a candybar slider more like all the other phones and is named "Pure" which is rumored to be having a software "Pink" which is a combination of Windows Mobile and Zune Software.
These are expected to be on Verizon, but we never know till they really appear.
