Microsoft building its own Phone

The second quarter of year 2012 has been one of the busiest quarters for software giant Microsoft. There were many announcements this year including SkyDrive, Windows 8 and Xbox integration.

 In May, Microsoft announced Windows 8 Release Preview and Visual Studio 2012 RC, two of the major releases of its Windows operating system and developer tool, Visual Studio. There were many more releases were announced that was overshadowed by these two releases. This week, Microsoft surprised everybody by announcing its own tablet called Microsoft Surface Tablet this week and couple of days ago, Microsoft showcased the new version of Windows Phone, Windows Phone 8.

So what is next in Microsoft's sleeves?

If Microsoft is successful in the Tablet market, I won't be surprise if Microsoft announces or may be already working on its own smartphone. I believe, once Tablet is ready, manufacturing a smartphone is not a major work.

While Nokia is already building new smartphones, Microsoft may just purchase Nokia. Nokia this year has announced several new smartphones including Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 900.

Time will tell but Microsoft is building similar ecosystem Apple has today.
