Rumors say that Sony Ericsson could be launching some new Windows Mobile devices in the coming months. Once again, HTC seems to be the beneficiary as they are touted to be the ODM who will be manufacturing these devices. On the one hand, it is hard to believe that SE will take such a step considering they are the owners of UIQ, a Symbian based touch screen enabled operating system. On the other hand, it seems to be a logical step for SE considering that the business based phone offerings from SE are almost zero, barring the new P1i. In contrast, Nokia has been very successful with the e-series phones. A couple of Windows Mobile based offerings will help SE to quickly grab some share in the enterprise business market space.
This is also good news for Windows Mobile users, as they will see better quality cameras and music players in the SE based offerings. Sound multimedia capabilities is one thing that Windows Mobile devices have been lacking in. In any case, it is a win-win situation for everyone. Nokia, are you listening?
