We previously reported on Phil Harrison's departure from Microsoft. Since then, he has founded Alloy Platform Industries, a startup focused on top-secret bleeding edge consumer tech. Harrison mentions that "Alloy has licensed some [...] unannounced technology that nobody outside of Microsoft knows about." Very exciting stuff!
While the ex-Xbox boss doesn't state exactly what his company will be doing, he does mention that the most money to be found from marketing these technologies is in the phone and games industry. Staying in stealth mode for the foreseeable future, Harrison must believe that what Alloy is working on is highly innovative, but we'll have to wait for Harrison to pull the curtain back to learn more.
"W
e'll stay in stealth mode for a while. It's very exciting, and something I've been planning for a little over a year, in full consultation and collaboration with Microsoft, specifically with Phil Spencer."If the project is at all related to highly secretive Microsoft tech, then perhaps a partnership is in the works. Is it something for Windows Phone? The Xbox One? The desktop or tablet space? What do you think?
