LG and Microsoft form new partnership

Many consumers might be scratching their heads, trying to think of the last phone LG produced with the Windows Mobile platform. Recently, LG and Microsoft have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a “strategic collaboration in mobile technology”.

Can Microsoft entice more prospective companies to employ the WM OS in their phones? Only time will tell….
