  IBM's Wireless Drive Leaves Microsoft in the Cold

An article from VNUNET by Lisa Kelly, "IBM has entered deals with Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Intel, and Cisco to develop an open, scalable platform based on the EPOC operating system for wireless data services. Notably absent from the consortium is Microsoft, although the company says it is merely studying its options, rather than working in opposition to open standards. The initiative is intended to spur the growth of mobile Internet use. In the next few years analysts predict that more people will use mobile devices than PCs to access the Internet, leading to $200 billion in mobile e-commerce spending by 2005, according to Ovum."
