Microsoft has said that a phone version is a definite possibility for the Zune branding.

Not that the Zune branding really holds water at the moment - still no word on an O/S shipping date - I really get the feeling MS was using the US as a litmus test for the rest of the world. If one of the largest, most affluent markets in the world doesn't like it why would any of the others?

According to MacRumors.com it's rumored to be out around Holidays '07. I personally think it would turn out to look worse than the Zune...prune...

Had I read it three (and a half) years ago I would have posted then; however, I feel my comment rings true to this day.
