Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer tried to shoot Google's new mobile platform down in flames at a press conference in Tokyo. Ballmer called Android a mere 'press release' at present, and suggested the mobile platform market was 'Microsoft's world'.
Ballmer dodged requests to comment on specifics of the Android software platform, preferring instead to highlight the successes of the Windows Mobile platform which he said is on 150 different handsets and is available from over 100 different mobile operators.
"Well of course their efforts are just some words on paper right now, it's hard to do a very clear comparison [with Windows Mobile]," Ballmer said.
"Right now they have a press release, we have many, many millions of customers, great software, many hardware devices and they're welcome in our world," he added.
