Remember Microsoft’s Pink project? Well it looks like the folks at Redmond are working hard on future Microsoft phones. Although Steve Ballmer did say a number of times that Microsoft will not launch its own phone line, it looks like those were just words said in order to keep everyone else that’s making Windows Mobile phones happy.

Nothing is confirmed just yet but it looks like a couple of Pink phones have been leaked, the Turtle and the Pure. The phones should be presented in a few months at CES 2010 but Microsoft will not launch them until later when Windows Mobile 7 will be ready to dazzle the masses.

And I hope you’re sitting down for this one, as there’s one more rumor that seems a lot hotter. It looks like Microsoft is preparing a response to Apple’s first tablet. Microsoft will create its own tablet. Will the gadget be revealed at CES 2010? Will we see Microsoft launch it before Apple does? Nothing’s certain so far but the future Microsoft tablet will be based on Microsoft’s Surface technology.
