We’re exactly one week away from the start of Mobile World Congress, the wireless industry’s largest tradeshow, and one thing that’s definitely going to be on everyone’s mind is Microsoft.

After all, you don’t have a ton of options, after all. If you recall, Carbon was a popular webOS app, though its UI is now fine-tuned for Microsoft’s Metro interface. … Read more
