Microsoft Zune phone – more plans emerge

The Link Experts have unearthed a quote from the big man, saying, “The Zune software will also be ported to and be more important not just with the hardware but on the PC, on Windows Mobile devices.”

Let’s face it, it would definitely make sense. The Zune is a neat device and is nice and easy to get your head round. Something Microsoft is unfamiliar with when it comes to the feature–rich, but fiddly Windows Mobile OS.

This report comes not long after one Microsoft insider suggested they were palling up with Nokia to bring the Zune software to the Finnish phones. Add a dash of Comes With Music and you’ve got something to give that aforementioned turtle–necked bloke something to chew over as the nights close in.
