Has Microsoft really confirmed that is talking with Nokia about Windows Mobile licensing, or not? The latest word from Microsoft on that question is, "No." Speaking with BetaNews today, a Microsoft spokesperson said that news reports in some other publications -- based around a press conference held Monday in Barcelona, Spain -- contain misinterpretations of remarks made by Microsoft executive Pieter Knook.
At the event, which was held to announce the first Windows Mobile-enabled devices from Ericsson, Knook -- who is senior VP for Microsoft's Mobile Communications Business -- did tell journalists, "There are a lot of discussions happening with Nokia," according to the spokesperson.
