Google released its own phone--the Nexus--which takes advantage of all the latest and greatest Android features. Apple controls all aspects of the iPhone, from its software to the hardware: RIM does the same thing with the BlackBerry. Microsoft is the odd man out here.
Don’t be too surprised in the not-too-distant future if Microsoft changes its tune, especially after the release of the Surface tablet. Microsoft partners, stay at the top of your game.
