Myerson: Microsoft support Windows 10 Mobile for many years, new products in development

The statements of Terry Myerson on the current role played by Windows Phone / Windows Mobile 10 as part of the complex of products and services developed by Redmond continue to fuel a debate not only among professionals, but also among the users consumer. The underlying question is about the projects that Microsoft has in Serbia for 10 Windows Mobile and smartphones that will use it. the generated quo aware (also) as a result of his statements, the Myerson himself has recently clarified the official position of the company on the mobile strategy with an email sent to some executives and partners of Redmond.

Statements which, while not denying what was said before on the current minor role currently played by Windows Phone / Windows Mobile 10, a glimpse interesting future scenarios. Two points foundations intervention: on the one hand the reassurance on support for Windows Mobile 10 granted for many years to come, on the other hand confirmed that the next generation of Windows 10 Mobile devices is currently under development.

I am aware that you are listening to the concerns of some partners about Microsoft in the mobile arena.

I want to be very clear: We are committed to providing Windows 10 mobile devices with small screens and ARM processors

We are currently developing the next generation of products and I want to reaffirm our commitment to Windows 10 Mobile. We believe in the value of these products for corporate clients and we intend to support the Windows Mobile platform 10 for many years. We have a roadmap of devices to support it through Microsoft and OEM partners that will sell and expand the lineup of smartphones based on this platform

Myerson back to focusing on the user business, pointing, apparently, as a target audience for the range of 10 Windows Mobile products - is not to be excluded that the reference is motivated by the email recipients who, as mentioned, is addressed to executives and partners of Microsoft, but so, the consumer audience is not expressly mentioned on this occasion.

The new Myerson statements are clearly motivated by the desire to restore confidence to the partners who have believed in an ecosystem in which the moving part has been put temporarily paused for 2016. The appointment to find out what will be the new products referenced Myerson is postponed to 2017. on this point lacking more specific official statements, but the rumors continue to bounce on the net and return to see the much-talked Surface Phone.

Interestingly, in this regard, the new Windows Central report that identifies some points for present and future strategy of Microsoft stating [NOTE: The information below is entirely unofficial and unconfirmed, even though they were spread from one source in other occasions proved reliable and authoritative]:

Microsoft is disappointed of the results obtained with 950 and Lumia 950 XL, considered non-aligned current philosophy of its devices (think of the Surface). A different opinion regarding the progress made by the software platform. 10 Windows Mobile has made significant steps forward in November 2015 (the month of onset in the consumer version), and the Redmond would be satisfied with the results.
Microsoft plans to launch the Surface Phone in April 2017. The launch will be closely linked to the process of developing Windows 10 Redstone 2 [NOTE: Windows 10 Windows 10 will follow 2 Redstone Redstone 1 better known as Windows 10 Anniversary Update, the whose release is scheduled for the 2016 summer). The new release will introduce new features on PCs and especially mobile.
Microsoft will launch Surface Phone with two objectives: to present him as the best smartphone in the world in terms of safety and productivity. A device which, thanks also to the Continuum aging process, Microsoft will propose as an alternative to the computer.
The source mentions for the first time Windows 10 Redstone 3, whose release date is not yet known, but which, together with Redstone 2, will focus on the enhancement of mobile aspects of Windows 10.
Even more clues provided by Windows Central confirm that Microsoft's mobile outbid will not before 2017. It remains to determine the strategy adopted in relation to the consumer market, given that, the identikit of Surface Phone that slowly emerges it is a device mainly oriented for use in a business setting, a little 'as with the Surface Pro tablet.
