syguy's Journal: Microsoft Zune Phone

Where Apple leads Microsoft is sure to follow, and therefore it should be no surprise that rumors abound surrounding a Zune based phone. While nothing is certain the evidence mounts that Microsoft is developing a mobile VoIP phone for WiMAX. CrunchGrear speculates that the phone might be announced before March 17 and launched in May, thus beating Apple's iPhone to market. Zune marketing manager, Chris Stephenson, was quoted last September saying, "the entire Zune platform and brand is about a family of devices. So to the degree that phones and other products exist in the family going forward, absolutely, that's definitely where this is all going."
