Microsoft is all set to formally introduce its Windows Phone 7 platform Monday (check out our ultimate preview) and Verizon and Google are already trying to downplay it. It’s like they say: Haters gonna hate. In a long-ranging interview with CNET, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam didn’t sound too impressed with the upcoming Microsoft Windows Phone…
You may not remember it but Google offers free directory assistance with its Goog-411 offering but the search giant said it is hanging up on the service to focus on voice recognition technology for Android.

Ford is trying to make your car the next bit smartphone app platform and it has just introduced a software developer kit and application programming interfaces for its in-car SYNC system.

It looks like Motorola’s Android handsets have been doing pretty well, as the co-CEO Sanjay Jha said the impending split could happen early next year.
