If Apple has added the iPhone to the iPod family....there won't be a Zune phone will there ....it's a possibility and if there will be one..my guess for the service provider is T-Mobile....
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?
do some market analysis, u dream too much, M$ has many products, apple is not their only inspiration. and apple's strategy is not necessarily fits them neither.
