Microsoft and Google weigh in on the future of smart phones

PBS’ Spencer Michels led interviews discussing the future of smart phones with Steve Ballmer, Microsoft and Eric Schmidt / Andy Rubin of Google. One thing that struck me as odd was how differently these two companies view the role of mobile phone operating systems. While Rubin and Schmidt keep stressing the importance of an open platform and outline the possibilities that result from this, Ballmer seems to be focussed on the front-end stuff only.
