I wonder if that means that other vendors like samsung/lg/huawei/... will not manufacture windows phones anymore as the name "Microsoft Mobile" sounds to me like there are no other vendors that can install MS WP systems on their devices. Any idea?
In the build 2014 they announced a list of 12-14 vendors that are about to ship some new wp8.1, so I think that's not the case.
Surely the fact that now MS control also the HW and can produce phones directly will not encourage, in the mid-long term, other manufacturers to use that os, also if it is license free.
