Well, It doesn’t appear that Microsoft will be taking direct aim at the iPhone on Tuesday.
Rather, the software maker is playing to its strengths, announcing a new piece of server software to help businesses manage a company’s worth of smartphones.
That doesn’t mean Microsoft isn’t interested in say, adding a full Web browser into Windows Mobile, according to Scott Horn, a general manager in Microsoft’s mobile device unit.
“Do I see a path where we are going to have a phenomenal browsing experience,” Horn said. “Yes, I do.”
But the bulk of Microsoft’s announcements for Tuesday focus on the company’s enterprise strengths. The company is announcing a new product, known as System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 and noting that it is providing start-up funds for Enterprise Mobile, a new Boston-based service provider that will help companies manage the process of doling out smartphones to large workforces.
