Lalala, Balmer Can’t Hear you

From Macworld:

“I’m not saying they’re not going to be a factor, but we’re in a world with Symbian, we’re in a world with BlackBerry, we’re in a world with Linux Mobile,” he said. Google might be a factor someday, but right now these competitors “look a little tougher to me.” “We’ll see what happens to Google in that fight,” Ballmer said.

Notice he doesn’t even mention the iPhone, which is currently kicking his ass.  Microsoft’s mobile strategy, it would seem, is to pretend the competition doesn’t exist.
