I have to admit that I didn’t see this one coming.
Microsoft has revealed a new Phone Companion app for Windows 10 today, designed to help users connect their PC to whatever smartphone they use — Windows Phone, Android, or iOS. On top of that, they also announced app will arrive for Android and iOS, having previously only been available for Windows devices. All of these platforms will get the same feature set as Windows Phone users.
So, why would Microsoft do this? Simple, the focus is on software and services. To make that work, they have to be on the devices that people use. Otherwise, they will become irrelevant. It’s a smart move on the part of Microsoft. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen.
