InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft has come a long way from the geeky pocket protector stereotype of its early days, but now Microsoft is hoping for a return to your pocket in a big way.

The company is making a big splash at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona this week, with several new technology introductions and partnerships that target wireless mobile devices and phones based on its Windows Mobile platform.

Microsofts opening-day announcements at 3GSM revolve around a number of technology and strategic initiatives, including MSN, search and Windows Live.
