No Zune phone at CES

by Devin Coldewey on December 10, 2008

I got all riled up last week about the possiblity — really, more of a hope than an expectation — that we might see a Zune phone revealed at CES. Deep down I think I knew I was talking a lot of nonsense, mainly because we know Microsoft isn’t going to abandon Windows Mobile all of a sudden, and we also know they’re planning on expanding Zune-related services to Windows Mobile among other platforms. “Project Pink,” a semi-mysterious project cited in the rumors, is really a set of WinMo-related services, which we will probably see explained further at CES. Dang!

I’m hoping there will still be something Zune related announced

  I guarantee there will be. Zune phone is overreaching, but i bet we’ll see something cool.

Who cares! HAHA The iPhone already has 11,413 apps. The Zune is DOA!

So I spoke to my contact at nvidia and he has promised that Microsoft is going to be the 1st company to launch a phone on the new tegra platform. At first I was amazed but he repeated it the first was going to be microsoft and then HTC and others will follow.

I wish one of these companies would take the wraps off something sweet for Verizon in Q1 of ‘09, I’m finally ready for a new phone and I just can’t quite pull the trigger on the Blackberry Storm.
