Microsoft’s Zune phone rumor back again, this time with Tegra | |
|
||
| Time: 11:37 EST/16:37 GMT | News Source: TG Daily | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Microsoft has not commented on a Zune phone so far and did not confirm or deny any reports. Rumors about such a phone have typically been squashed by the argument that Microsoft would pose a threat to its Windows Mobile customers if it manufactured its own phone. But a new article published by the Inquirer revives those rumors with an interesting angle. The website suggests that the Microsoft-branded cellphone will be powered by Nvidia's Tegra system-on-a-chip (SoC). The site even pinpoints the phone's release date - 3GSM in February 2009. |

I do not know if it is true or not but I surely hope so:
First at all MS makes EXCELLENT hardware; Second if MS build its own we could be finally able to use the "Update" function in the WM 6.XX OS! |

Fusing WinPhone with Zune its marketplace and then all that with the likes of the sky-market, Live services, Azure, and Xbox/Xna? Pretty cool stuff. Now what I don't know, or care to think about is how they are going to balance the great many partners and any continued used/development of Windows Mobile - e.g., will their WinPhone (if it ever exists), software be available for all partners (I doubt it) and if not, will the continue Win Mobile dev and support?
As deeply as they are moving into the services+software channel (yes, the inversion is intentional over software+services), they have to be preparing to lose a lot of support amongst partners in the legacy side of the channel - and how much share will they cede as partners adapt? The next tex years are going to be so much more fun to watch than the preceding ten. And as the US willfully turns itself into a really boring version of Canada (more boring than Canada? - yeah, it's possible...) technological advances and change will be a badly needed distraction. |

Interesting how you froth & rant if someone criticizes the US, but you'll happily throw insults at another country when it suits you. |

| #3: Yes, and considering the direction the US has taken during the Bush years, a little Canadian "boredom" would be a welcome change. |
