In the same announcement, Microsoft announced that Sony Ericsson will deliver a Windows Mobile phone, the XPERIA X1, which Microsoft characterized as an arc slider phone geared for Web access and multimedia.
Microsoft is also showcasing a new version of a client application that lets users access MSN Direct content on Windows Mobile phones.
