Microsoft Readies New PPC Phones 

 With a pair of GSM/GPRS Pocket PC phones already in stores, Microsoft has managed to enter the CDMA market as well. Sometime today we expect Microsoft to announce a pair of new smartphones–the Hitachi Multimedia Communicator with an integrated, BlackBerry-like keyboard and a more traditional Samsung model called the i700. As you can see from the photo, both will have integrated digital cameras. According to a Microsoft spokesperson, Sprint has already agreed to offer the Hitachi by the end of June. We’ll tell you more about these models as information develops.
