Microsoft seems to be taking a new path recently, trying to push its services across all platforms. If you buy a new Samsung phone, Microsoft apps are pre installed with 100gb One Drive storage for 2 years.
With Microsoft pushing its mobile services like One Drive, Office 365, Bing and Cortana for android, how much longer will it be before Microsoft could offer its own android phone without the need for any Google services? As another example, Bing can now be activated instead of Google Now on the long press of the home button.
So what do you think? Is this Microsoft’s plan for the future?
If MS launched an Android phone I think it would be the biggest possible indication that they have given up on Windows Phone/Mobile.
It is good to see them taking notice of Android, they need their apps on the Play Store. If MS can get people using their devices they are at least half(?) way to getting them on their platform.
