Zune phone rumours resurface

Yep, Pink is back and this time the talk is of a launch in two months

There's much talk this morning of Zune phones after Jefferies & Company issued a note stating that Microsoft is preparing to launch a device based on Windows Mobile 7.

Microsoft has always maintained - at least on the record - that it's role in mobile is purely software-oriented, but with Google's recent unveiling of the Nexus it wouldn't be surprising if the Redmond company's long-rumoured Pink project came to fruition sooner rather than later.

In the note, analyst Katherine Egbert said industry sources were pointing to a launch within the next two months (either at Mobile World Congress or the spring CTIA show).

The device will apparently be Zune-like and be produced in partnership with an OEM.
