Microsoft said on Tuesday that Openwave a maker of software for cell phones, would begin offering a feature allowing mobile phone users to access Hotmail and MSN Messenger while on the go. The world's largest software maker said that it had joined with Openwave to jointly develop software to be featured on the smaller company's latest version of specialized software for cell phones.
Microsoft has been developing software for mobile phones and devices for the past several years, pitting it against companies such as Symbian and Finland's Nokia, but has chiefly marketing its software to handset makers and operators as a high-end business tool.
