"You don't have to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone," said Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, "but you do to use an Android phone." He was addressing the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco, where we guess his audience
must have included a large but silent population of Android-loving non-scientists. In any case, the Redmond CEO also revealed that he just can't get "excited" about Android phones, which proves that anything can be boring if you're rich enough -- including raking in up to $15 per Android handset in
cross-licensing deals. On a serious note, though, HTC's latest
Titan handset shows off the
Mango experience at its best and it
is simpler than Google's OS. If Windows Phone sales eventually
pick up despite the buzz over
Android 4.0, then the point beneath Ballmer's bluster might not seem so unreasonable.
