Microsoft claims Vodafone first to standardize the software on its handsets

Software giant Microsoft has said in a statement that mobile service provider Vodafone is the first one standardize the software on its handsets.

The company added that they are working with other mobile service providers to do the same to make it easier for their consumers to upgrade to newer generation of handsets without any issues.

Pieter Knook, senior vice president for the Mobile and Embedded Devices Division at Microsoft said in a statement: “Vodafone is the first to go into this direction, but there are others doing similar things and we will be talking about them in due course.”

Vodafone has selected Microsoft Windows Mobile in addition to two other platforms Linux and Symbian Series 60 for their future handsets.
