Sendo v. Microsoft: the final chapter closes

Maybe we're the only ones sickly obsessive enough about this stuff to even care (and even we're having trouble paying attention), but since we already did at least one gossipy post about the
hugely litigious falling out Microsoft and Sendo had over what was supposed to have been the very first handset running on the Windows Mobile for Smartphone operating system
(mere months before the Z100, pictured at right, was due out, Sendo abruptly jumped ship for the Symbian OS or something along those lines, it was a long time ago in cellphone years), we figured we at least had an obligation to tell you how everything ended up. Nobody won. At least not as far as we can tell, but Sendo dropped their lawsuit against Microsoft alleging theft of trade secrets, fraud, and unfair competition, and Microsoft agreed to give up the 4 percent stake they had in the manufacturer.
