Microsoft recently grabbed headlines due to the decision to design and manufacture their own piece of hardware themselves in Surface. This did upset many of its partners, but Microsoft seem to feel this is the only way to challenge Apple head on. Steve Ballmer was quoted as saying " We'll leave no stone unturned in the battle with Apple."
Even hinting that a Microsoft designed and manufactured WP8 is not out of the question.
Do you think Microsoft are on the right path here?
Do you think Microsoft are better off having their own designed and made kit to go head to head with Apple?
The 32gb entry price for Surface is expected to be $500 - $600 with USB ports and Full M$ Office based on ARM acitecture. A more powerful Intel based deviced is expected later around the $1000 mark. Both versions will come with a soft case that has the trusty keyboard on the inside of the case for office use made easy and functional presumably.
What are your toughts?
Would you like to see a Windows Phone 8 designed and made by Microsoft?
