Ever since Steve Ballmer left, Microsoft has sort of undergone something of a rejuvenation. It’s back to making cool, interesting stuff again. And this is great for the company and even better for consumers.
Microsoft is no stranger to the phone space. It’s released more phone initiatives than most care to remember but now things are slightly different, as it has completely sorted out its Windows 10 platform.
And this means a phone would now be a good idea. Even more so if Microsoft can get its enterprise partners to adopt it. Though this is no mean feat, as most firms now operate on a BYOD system and have done for numerous years.
Still, a well put together, innovative smartphone direct from Microsoft, complete with all of its services, would almost certainly gain a lot of interest from floating voters. Especially those in the enterprise space.
Most people have now forgotten about Windows Mobile and Windows RT and are now instead focussed on things like HoloLens and Xbox One X, as well as the company’s awesome Surface computers.
Viewed in this context, the only thing really missing from Microsoft’s lineup of hardware IS a phone. And now that Windows 10 is sorted, there’s never been a better time for a Microsoft Surface Phone.
All the pieces are set, we just need something to drop a few jaws. Plus, Microsoft can afford to take the hit on a new product for the first couple of years, as it builds momentum.
The Surface Phone 100% exists inside Microsoft HQ. You can bet your ass on that. It’s just now a case of whether or not the company will actually ever get around to releasing it…
