Behold the Zune 3 aka iZune aka Zune Phone aka iPhone/iPod killer

The folks on the Zune team are no doubt hard at work on the third-gen Zune and here are some renderings and specs of what it could/should be. The likelihood that we’ll finally see the Zune phone is more than apparent with popularity of the iPhone, announcement of Android and the downfall of WinMo. If MS doesn’t pull this out soon, they’ll be dead in the water. Not as a company, though. Just in terms of PMP and maybe their mobile OS.
The Zune 3 will feature 16GB and 32GB flash models, IE, Wi-Fi marketplace and a full blown touchscreen. In other words, it’s the iPod Touch and iPhone from MS. It’s an obvious assumption and I just hope MS doesn’t go and feck this up.

I dont think MS will be “Dead in the water” if they do not release this device. I am not big into the whole phone/media player thing. In fact I have only seen about 3 iPhones in the wild. the benefit to this over the iPhone is that it will work in corporate Outlook environments. ant say though whether MS is eager to give up on MinMO, esp. in light of the new update coming here soon.

Do mobile operating systems ever really die? I mean, we still have the shit bucket Palm OS that has basically only added color since version 1.0. It, like WinMo, has hundreds of applications and that is what keeps it going. If the zunephoneamajig doesn’t have some iteration of WinMo under the hood it will wicked fail.

I HATE apple I hate everything that they put out. It all sucks, I hope and pray that they come out with this. I am SICK of this crap they call and iphone. I had to switch back to my LG vue because the iphone lags like hell broke loose! I hope that they will let you remove the battery for a hard reboot, unlike the iphone. I trust Microsoft a lot more then apple.
