Zunephone For 2009




Quote:
After years of rumors and brusque denials, it appears the Zune phone is the real deal.
According to Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will announce a Zune-style mobile device during his keynote address at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, on January 7, 2009.

Lemme guess, the phones biggest feature... will be that it comes in brown.

Anyways I'll be the first to say in this thread, that theres a very good chance that the rumor is bull****.

Why would Microsoft want to **** off all the other companies that use their pocketpc software when they start pushing their own hardware as a competitor.

The Zune and Zune Marketplace anyone? How about DRMed .wma?

History would just be repeating itself.

Absolutely. Microsoft has a history of screwing its partners. The last batch got PlayedForSure with the PlaysForSure debacle.

Ya, it's probably false

Although it would be interesting if they did...make Windows Mobile more designed for professionals, and Zune for consumers...

I'm interested be the Zune marketplace, $15 (or something) a month, and you get 10 DRM free songs... a zune phone would mix things up a fair bit...

Although currently Zune software not supporting OS X is a major knock against it...

Great...now I've got that tune "ringing" in my ears. From now on, I'll be more cautious about clicking on your links.
