The story I saw LIVE REPORTED ..I can not pull up on BloomBerg...although it is still running along the bottom on the scroll..."Microsoft Maps Out Plan To Woo Mobile Phone Users From Google" There is an old story dated July 14 from Steve Ballmer .Microsoft pays app developers both big and small to help it develope Mobile7 to catch up with apple and google..in some cases they will pay UP FRONT and will reimburse IF the apps don't go well..Offering both cash incentives..development costs...or revenue guarantees in order to have apps ready on time or near the release of the new phone and OS that has been rebuilt from scratch... Steve Ballmer's words not mine... story is on bloomberg july 14th...title..."microsoft pays mobile app developers to help it catch apple"
