Microsoft Signs Deal with Compal

Just when you thought that Microsoft is loosing over the smartphone OS market – think again! Apparently, Microsoft has a hand on the Android and Chrome, particularly concerning ten separate Android and Chrome licensing deals. And just recently, the software giant has inked yet another deal, and this time it’s with Compal, in which Compal will now pay Microsoft a reasonable and fair chunk of their $28 billion annual income, for rights to produce tablets and smartphones for big brands like Lenovo. And with the deal signed, Microsoft now has their tentacles over 55 percent of the Android ODM industry, and this also signifies that they are now firmly submerged into two different mobile OS share market. Although the recent licensing deal with Compal might sound like a cut-throat deal, still, it helps reduces the cold and ceaseless waves of litigation between the industrial juggernauts.
