Ballmer Says No Zune Phone…Sorta

Not that this would be the first time an White House was capture lying through his teeth about future products , but for the time being Ballmer is sticking to the estimation their wo n’t be a Zune speech sound come from Microsoft . Kind of .

It ’s not a concept you ’ll ever get from us . We ’re in the Windows Mobile business . We can put Zune into Windows Mobile , we can put Xbox into Windows Mobile . We can pour everything in . We would n’t define our phone experience just by euphony . A phone is really a worldwide - use machine . You want it to make telephone calls . You want to get and incur messages — text , e - mail , whatever your orientation is . You may want music , you may desire to play plot , you may want to carry your contact with you , and you may want to make up for things . I mean we have to think about the phone instead of as a fix - function twist , a phone is really kind of a general role gadget that we need to have blank and wanton to expend .

Interestingly enough , he does say that they could toss Zune ( And Xbox ) functionality into Windows Mobile . So get me get this straight . Dump the prissy Zune platform and interface , and put a Zune like App on top of the bloat and cheese of Windows Mobile OS ? Sounds like it makes sense from the functionality standpoint , but none from the “ this contrivance is going to be nerveless ” stand .
