Microsoft said to make $70 million investment in Android maker Cyanogen

The headline has been corrected to read as follows: Microsoft said to invest in Android maker Cyanogen

The lede has been corrected to read as follows: Microsoft has invested in Cyanogen, producer of an alternative distribution of Android, according to a Wall Street Journal article published Thursday.

A sentence has been added to the end of the third paragraph, which now reads as follows:

The Journal cited unnamed sources familiar with the transaction. It did not provide comment from either Microsoft or Cyanogen. Cyanogen did not respond to IDG News Service's request for comment by press time, and Microsoft declined to comment. Microsoft would be a minority investor in a roughly $70 million round of financing, the Journal reported.
