Steve Ballmer was addressing shareholders annual meeting yesterday and when one of the shareholder asked shareholder asked “if we were in the post-PC era”.The statement he made after that question,has given rise to many bloggers articles around the web talking about the thing which he didn’t actually meant to say.This is what he said,
“Well one thing I know is, we’re certainly not, we are in the Windows era. We were, we are and we always will be. That’s kinda what we get paid to do. We’ve got broad Windows initiatives driving Windows down to the phone. With Windows 8, you’ll see incredible new form factors powered by Windows from tablets, small, large, pens, smaller, bigger, room-sized displays. We are in an era in which the range of smart devices is continuing to expand. That’s a fantastic thing for Microsoft. That is a real opportunity.”
So after this statement all the bloggers around the web started posting about steve confirming the Windows 8 phone totally misinterpreting the actual statement steve made during his reply.If you can carefully listen to the following recording you can easily make out that there’s a pause between the two words phone and windows 8.

At this moment all we can say that Windows 8 based phones are not coming as of now,but if you are still itching to get hands on with one of such devices then you might be interested in the ITG’s xpPhone2 which is expected to be released next year running windows 8 on it.
