Rumors of Nokia and Zune Partnership increase

Looks like we have some confirmation that Nokia was working on an agreement with Microsoft with something relating to their huge cellphone empire. Check out this excerpt from Zune Scene which relates information on this topic:

Nokia is currently working with the Zune team on integration of Zune Marketplace content according to a well placed source within Microsoft. The joint development is directed at content delivery rather than a hardware device according to the source. It has long been assumed by many tech followers that Zune content and software would find it’s way onto Windows Mobile devices, thereby offering competition to the unfortunately popular iPhone. The interesting thing about the Nokia Zune partnership is that Nokia does not support Windows Mobile. It appears Microsoft may be developing a two front war against the iPhone, namely Windows based smart phones and more abundant “non-smart” phones.
