A new version of Microsoft's operating system for small devices, due in June, can be used to make IP phones, the software maker will reveal Wednesday. Hitachi, NEC, Casio Computers, Samsung and three other manufacturers intend to develop IP phones using the new version of WindowsCE.Net after the software's release, according to Microsoft Director Scott Horn. Makers of processors used inside these devices, such as Texas Instruments and ARM, are adapting their own products to support the new feature, Horn said.
