Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer on Tuesday said the software maker does not intend to build its own smartphone to compete directly with the Apple iPhone, which currently has the "mojo" in the consumer market.
Instead, Microsoft will continue to focus on selling the software that runs in many devices and let the hardware vendors do the building, Ballmer said in a meeting with financial analysts in New York.
