As Microsoft tries to popularize its Android apps, the company has been trying a number of things to get them noticed. The company has existing agreements with some manufactures to have them include its apps on their devices and this has helped a little bit in getting Android fans to notice and even use them.
As it plans to take over Android with its apps, Microsoft has announced a new partnership agreement with Asus to see the latter bundle up some of Microsoft’s apps on its future smartphones and tablets. With this agreement, Asus will also be getting access to some of Microsoft’s patented technologies related to Android devices.
Asus will be joining a list of over 30 manufacturers who have entered into similar deals with Microsoft. Some of the big name manufactures with such deals include Samsung which signed the deal earlier this year that saw the manufacturer preload Mobile office apps on its high end devices including the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge and the Galaxy Note5.
