haha. Note 3 already uses one, but wouldn't surprise me if gates works one into a lumia.

...I just thought it was funny they were bringing him on as the product guy. He is very smart but was late to the internet scene and late to the mobile scene (or just missed it). Seems like the xBox group or an outside person would be better to help with products. They probably should have bought NEST even bring in Scott Forstall to help some.

I think had M$ come out with a nice xbox themed windows 8 tablet with good gaming and web surfing for that 200-300 range they would have had a hit.

(big surface, kin,zune,surfaceRT,stylus tablets etc.) Not really a good history here.

i agree. the whole thing is very bizarre. he was stepping down to focus on philanthropy and now he is spending more time at the company than before . . .and working on something that isn't in his wheelhouse. in an effort to appear relevant, he may be bringing down the company to a new low.
