ARMANI TECH: It looks like Microsoft chief executive officer Steve Ballmer is becoming a fashionista. “There’s no question. This is the most glamorous venue I have ever had the chance to speak in and frankly…the most fashionable phone I’ve ever had the chance to talk about. And that is as good as it gets for me,” he said at the Armani Teatro in Milan at the launch of the Giorgio Armani-Samsung smartphone, which features Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 software. He added: “I even got a tie today. The phone is beautiful, but Mrs. Ballmer’s going to love the tie, signed by Mr. Armani himself.” Ballmer declined to be drawn on whether the deal prefaced closer links between Microsoft and fashion companies, saying only the Armani-Samsung-Microsoft tie-up was “unique.”
