No Zune Phone But Zune Touch Soon
SFGate recently interviewed Robbie Bach. This is the guy in command of the Xbox, Zune, and Windows Plastic- all of those ultra competitive consumer devices. In this assessment the question of whether or not we would see a Zune phone was brought up.
At prime Robbie touts the fact that Windows Motorized devices will continue to outsell the iPhone and the Blackberry. But then he goes on to confirm that, “We don't make phones ourselves. We don't keep any plans to make phones ourselves.” He goes on to excuse that Windows Mobile is currently in the arrange to take advantage of their confidence that, “…a phone is a jolly personal thing. Different people impecuniousness different types of phones.”
While this rules out the potential of a Zune branded phone, it may not chiefly out the Zune as a piece of software or aid on a windows mobile device. When discussing the MP3 performer market Robbie goes on to stately that Microsoft has a broader ideal not just including hardware but also software and services. He states that, “…software and services, at least in theory, can be reach-me-down on a lot of different types of devices.” This I muse on is a ways off, but it does show the later of the Zune brand.
So what did he should prefer to to say about the Zune “Touch”?
