Another diabolical scheme from good old Microsoft to edge their way into the profitable consumer market. They announced on 30th June 2006, a new unit within its Mobile and Embedded Devices business called the Consumer Media Technology Group, to be headed by Amir Majidimehr Corporate Vice President.

Majidimehr and his team will move from the Platforms & Services unit to become part of the Microsoft Mobile and Embedded/Communications sector, which includes the Windows Mobile, Windows Embedded and Communications Sector technologies.
