Microsoft is already competing against the iPhone with its WinMo OS, so MS should concentrate on making it better. If MS started making specific hardware, I don't think the other WinMo-using companies would be very happy about that. I don't think we'll see a ZunePhone any time soon. It would just be a waste of MS dollars. It will be more fun to see the ZunePhone go head to head against the iPhone in the same fashion the Zune went up against the iPod.

Considering Nokia's history with CDMA, I don't think this rumor carries a lot of weight.

All I can say is that Microsoft's got its work cut out for itself. Not so much from a product standpoint; but from a public image perspective. Like how in the world are they going to make something new and enticiing when the iPhone all ready has taken the world by storm? If you ask anyone who's technically savvy who's leading the way, Apple or Microsoft.I think the answer would be clear. Of course, the IT guys won't mind waiting another two years. Ok.

So they have an .Net framework, which opens porting Zune UI & homebrew on their devices. Some months ago, Microsoft said that a Silverlight 2.0 VM was ported to Nokia smartphones.

It's a nice little device, they've got a nice service set up, it just doesn't have the volume of users iTunes does and nothing can change that. Although nothing can really touch the iPod Touch now...
