Microsoft is he still interested in mobile? This is a question that we are entitled to ask after noting the absence of these platforms at various keynotes of Build 2016, which was held last week in San Francisco. On this occasion, Terry Myerson, the Windows boss also said to our colleagues at The Verge that the mobile platform was not at the heart of Microsoft’s focus for now …
Some time later, when asked about the possible abandonment of mobile and Windows mobile, Satya Nadella, CEO of the American giant, told Business Insider that he had given to his group additional three years. To do what ? Mystery.
An arrival early next year
Finally, the veil may be about to get up. To believe Central Windows, Microsoft could finally launch its Surface Phone but not before early 2017.
