More ZunePhone rumors
It looks like rumors of a Zune phone just won’t die, with the slow sales of the Zune music player I really doubt Microsoft has a Zune phone in the works. It could be a possibility in the future if the Zune becomes more popular. An article on TG daily has hinted of such a phone from Microsoft. They are claiming that Microsoft is working with Nvidia and their new phone will feature the Nvidia Tegra hardware to power it. This seems highly unlikely as Microsoft has Windows 7 to work on and an image to revamp.
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.
