Actually Microsoft developed OSes for mobile devices very early, with Windows CE coming out in 1996. I remember is 2003 or so, owning Dell PDA that aside from not having a phone and having a clunkier interface, let me browse the web and do much of what a cell phone does (personally I used it to browse the web, watch movies, listen to music, and Skype), in a cell phone like package. It was a niche product for years, and obviously Microsoft didn't quite develop it the right way. But saying that Microsoft never seriously approached the mobile devices market because they only want a product they dominate is simply not true.
Microsoft also pushed tablet computing hard for a long time, even though it never caught on. Again, they didn't do it right, but it wasn't for a lack of sustained trying.
