Microsoft’s Ballmer expects Smartphone at $100 in two years

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer expects smartphones powered by the company’s Windows Mobile software to sell for $100 within one or two years, which would create a huge market.

"We will get smartphones at consumer style prices," Ballmer said in an interview on Tuesday at the 3GSM wireless trade show.

"I think it will take a year or two before we get to $100 type offerings (of Windows Mobile devices). I may be wrong, but not by much," he told Reuters.

With the greed of the carriers, how will this happen?
