We have no idea what Microsoft is doing with its Zune universe. Is the Zune Phone ready? Are there more MP3 Players in the works? What we do have is a rumor saying that some of the Zune UI team have moved to the Windows Mobile team and others are being hired to complete the ranks. A job posting from December 2nd says:

Zune Services is building an entertainment store for a wide range of Zune clients or ‘tuners.’ Today these tuners include the Windows PC client, the Zune web site and the Zune device; in the future there will be more. Each of these tuners access a set of rich web services implemented by Zune and soon by Musiwave as well.

What’s a Musiwave you ask? Well Musiwave is a French mobile music store which Microsoft bought last year. Is Zune thinking about 3rd party content? Is Musiwave going to be involved in that? Here’s what the job add sais:

The Zune organization is making a strategic change from a 3rd party content provider to in-house. We need to rebuild, re-architect, and revitalize a content ingestion pipeline that powers the entire Zune business. And we have a very short time to do it.

We’re waiting for Steve Ballmer to do his thing now.
