InfoWorld | at | by Mike

A week before the case was to be heard before a court in Texas, Microsoft and Visto have settled a two-year-old patent lawsuit over technologies used in Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS that allow wireless devices to access e-mail.

According to an e-mail from a Visto spokeswoman, Microsoft and Visto have entered into a settlement and license agreement involving "cash and non-cash consideration." The agreement means all claims in the case are being dismissed, she said.
