Steven Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, in a forum last week said that Microsoft is going to focus on Windows Mobile and not a Zune Phone. This doesn't mean we shouldn't expect a Zune Phone in the future, but maybe embedded in Windows Mobile Software?...
From Todd Bishop' Blog: "It's not a concept you'll ever get from us. We're in the Windows Mobile business. We can put Zune into Windows Mobile, we can put Xbox into Windows Mobile. We can pour everything in. We wouldn't define our phone experience just by music. A phone is really a general-purpose device. You want it to make telephone calls. You want to get and receive messages -- text, e-mail, whatever your preference is. You may want music, you may want to play games, you may want to carry your contacts with you, and you may want to pay for things. I think we have to think about the phone instead of as a fixed-function device, a phone is really kind of a general purpose device that we need to have clean and easy to use."
This is Ballmer's statement from last Thursday's USA Today CEO Forum on the University of Washington campus.
