Coming Soon – Microsoft Zune Phone

From a headline that sounds like it’s from the Twilight Zone, Digital Daily reports there is rekindled speculation that we will soon see a Zune Phone on the horizon. Despite being late to the game, some experts believe that a Zune phone is in the cards for Microsoft. The phone is rumored to be running Windows Mobile 7 with iPhone-like functionality.

What does this mean to you?

The idea of a Zune phone is not really anything new. But this is the first time we have seen the rumor being fully explored by a Jefferies & Company analyst. I am inclined to agree with the speculation. Even if it does as poorly as the Nexus One, it only makes sense for Microsoft to make an attempt with a Zune phone given their desire to be taken seriously in the consumer mobile market.

  • Personally, I think Windows Mobile (or even if they call it Zune) has had it's run. It was great for it's time. I had a Treo for a few years; from the Palm version to the WinMo version, my latest being the Treo Pro. However, in rolls WebOS, Android, and iPhone, and WinMo simply looks like it's ready for the retirement home. Even if they made a comeback; an Android or other newer device can do almost, if not all, of what a WinMo device can do, and more. They should just focus on their OS market and the cloud market for software.
