Is there a need for a Microsoft Windows or Surface Phone? Microsoft's Vice President of the Windows Phone Division, Terry Myerson, doesn't think so. Speaking in an interview with AllThingsD's Dive Into Mobile series, Myerson said there just isn't a need for such a device but left the door open should situations change.
"It would have to be something where Nokia or HTC was not providing the consumer experience we think is possible with our platform."
There has been speculation for sometime that Microsoft was leaning towards producing their own hardware. Myerson feels that Microsoft's partners are doing a good job of it and doesn't see the need for Microsoft to step in and start producing hardware.
Do you agree with Myerson that, basically, as long as Microsoft's hardware partners continue to satisfy the consumer's needs there isn't a need for a Microsoft device? Or would a Surface Phone help the Windows Phone market by giving consumers one more option to consider?
