Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Fresh off its first-ever quarterly profit, Microsoft's Mobile and Embedded Devices division will try to build on its progress this week at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona, Spain -- even bringing out Chief Executive Steve Ballmer for his first appearance at the big industry show.
The division, which makes Windows Mobile software for smart phones and other mobile devices, remains well behind rival Symbian in market share but has seen the number of mobile phone operators offering devices with its software rise from 68 to 102 in the past year.
