Isn't the Surface "mobile"? I know you mean smartphones and tablets, but if they're capable of making a portable tactile device with a fully functional OS they should be able to one day easily port that to a screen with smaller dimensions.
- ivan_gammel 10y agoSince the moment they started investing in hardware, they have always been capable of doing great smartphones. It's not the hardware part that is an obstacle. Probably it's the lack of determination to win.
- mhomde 10y agoyeah, I totally agree with you, unfortunately :/
- rpeden 10y agoThey already have that in Continuum: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3065895/windows/windows-continuum-how-i-survived-a-week-using-a-windows-10-phone-as-my-pc.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/3065895/windows/windows-conti... although I'm not sure it has a future given the shaky status of Win10 phones. As it stands right now, I can fire up Visual Studio and write a UWP app that'll run on phone, tablet, and desktop. The problem is that hardly anyone is using Windows Phones, and the smartphone market is one that MS hasn't had much luck with. Maybe the rumored Surface Phone will help if it ever materializes, but I'm skeptical.
