Microsoft has set a target to sell 100 million personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smart phones running Windows in the year 2007, a Microsoft official said Monday. The goal was set by Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer for the company's Windows Mobile unit and shows that Microsoft is serious about this market, said Douglas Dedo, marketing manager for Windows Mobile at Microsoft. A large percentage of the Windows Mobile device shipments will be smart phones, not PDAs, Dedo said.
