Microsoft, Nokia to announce alliance

MS-Watch | at | by Mike

Microsoft and Nokia will make a joint announcement at a press conference in New York City on August 12. Headlined by Stephen Elop, president of Microsoft Business Division, and Kai Oistamo, executive vice president for Nokia Devices, the details are being kept under wraps.

I'll update on eWeek's regular news feed during the conference, and include a post-conference interview with spokespeople for both companies, but for right now I'll speculate that this has something to do with Windows Mobile 6.5 being installed as the operating system for one or more Nokia devices.
