C|Net | at | by Mike
Mobile phone maker Sendo has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, alleging the attempted theft of technical expertise and proprietary technology, adding to the intrigue surrounding its recently terminated relationship with the software giant. A Sendo spokeswoman said that the company believes "the allegations are serious and substantial," but declined to give further details. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Texarkana, Texas, on Friday. Sendo is based in the United Kingdom, but its North American headquarters are in Dallas, and its as-yet-unreleased z100 "smart phone" is powered by OMAP technology from Texas Instruments, also based in Texas.
