Zune Phone in the Works?

Author: Chris

25 Jul

A Zune phone was rumored for a long time in the mobile world with Windows always having to deny such a device. But something strange happened. Steve Ballmer, whom you might know from his eggs ducking experiences and whose hobby is pretending to a qualified Microsoft CEO, is getting ready for a new fiscal year. And he wants it to be a more like Apple year.

Steve Ballmer says:

We’re changing the way we work with hardware vendors to ensure that we can provide complete experiences with absolutely no compromises. We’ll do the same with phones—providing choice as we work to create great end-to-end experiences.

Does that mean a ZunePhone is in the works? Would anyone buy it? Will it be an iPhone clone? In how much time will Microsoft sell 1 million ZunePhones?
