Sendo.com首頁的消息:
"Sendo has terminated its Smartphone development program utilising the Microsoft Windows Powered Smartphone 2002 software.
As a result, Sendo regrets to announce that it will not be shipping the Z100 Smartphone.
It has been a very difficult decision for Sendo given its leadership position in the development of smart devices. We are disappointed that we will not be able to ship the Z100 given the high level of interest shown in the device.
Although a set back, we are pleased to announce today that we have licensed the Series 60 platform from Nokia for our smartphone category. We believe this will create the opportunity for us to continue as a lead player in the development of smartphone products for 2003."
Sendo Press Release:
"Earlier this fall we reviewed our smart phone strategy. While our mission of providing customers with feature-rich and ubiquitous devices remains unaltered, seeing that the Series 60 fully embraces both our mission and the new strategy we decided to approach Nokia," said Hugh Brogan, Chief Executive Officer of Sendo Holdings Plc. "The platform utilises open standards and technologies, such as MMS and Java(TM), jointly developed by the industry. The platform is robust, yet uniquely flexible, bringing great benefits to licensees, operators, developers and consumers."
第一段的大意是說Sendo的智慧裝置研發部門無意繼續在smart phone 2002的領域裡研發新產品,同時他們也宣佈今天他們取得了NOKIA series 60 platform的認證,並有信心在2003年繼續成為智慧電話產品的領導者...
第二段的大意是說NOKIA series 60 platform不論在MMS、JAVA...等方面,都擁有較好的解決方案

唉...微軟真是有夠給它出師不利的...
連鼻祖Sendo都給它跳槽了
現在就看那隻Orange的SmartPhone表現怎樣了...
