Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Company won't make a cellphone
微软公司CEO Steve Balmer说:公司不会生产手机。
NEW YORK (AP) - Microsoft Corp. has no plans to create a cellphone, preferring to focus on expanding its share of the market for cellphone software, chief executive Steve Ballmer said Wednesday.
纽约 - 微软公司CEO Steve Baller星期三说: 微软公司没有计划生产手机,更倾向于扩大在手机软件市场的份额。
"I don't actually think it will make sense for us to make a cellphone," Ballmer said, speaking at The Wall Street Journal's "D: All Things Digital" conference in Carlsbad, Calif.
Ballmer在华尔街时报于加州Carlsbad举办的主题为“一切都是数字”会议上说:我认为生产手机没什么意义。
Though he conceded that he once said the same thing about creating a music player, Ballmer said the better strategy for Microsoft is to partner with major handset makers.
尽管他承认曾经也说过微软不会生产音乐播放器。Ballmer说:与主要的手持设备制造商的合作是微软的上策。
"There will be an operating system that sits in every phone," he said. "Will they come from us or someone else?"
他说:每一个手机上都有一个操作系统。这些操作系统是出自微软还是别的公司?
Apple Inc. is expected to introduce its first cellphone, the IPhone, soon.
苹果公司预计很快将推出他们的第一款手机iPhone.
Ballmer said the company "is very committed" to its music player, the Zune. The device launched in November, but has so far failed to make much of dent in Apple's domination of the market for digital music players.
Baller说微软非常重视他们的音乐播放器: the Zune。这个设备是11月发布的。但是至今为止没有对苹果公司所霸占的数字音乐播放器市场造成多冲击。
Ballmer said the company will expand the Zune line, which he characterized as bare-bones, in an effort to get into the market quickly.
Ballmer说微软会扩大the Zune的生产线。
"We'll have a lineup this Christmas that will be more exciting," he said.
