Posted by Sharon Pian Chan
PREV
Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said mistakes were made on Windows Mobile 7, according to a report from PC Pro via Slashdot.
The smartphone software is Microsoft's competitor to Symbian, BlackBerry RIM and Apple's iPhone software.
Ballmer made the remarks at a Venture Capital Summit, which was reported to the rest of the world via Twitter, PC Pro said.
According to PC Pro's report, Ballmer said the company has "pumped in some new talent. This will not happen again."
The company is releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 in October, and has been cagey about giving any details on when 7.0 will come out.
