Does not want users to get their hopes
up
Software giant Microsoft has gone out of its way to quash dark satanic
rumours that it is about to release a Zunephone.
In a press release that
crossed our desk, Redmond has gone out of its way to make the matter
clear. "Microsoft is not going into the phone hardware business. Microsoft is
not building a Zune-specific phone," the official statement reads.
Quite why
Redmond felt worried that people might believe it is working on a Zunephone is
unclear. Perhaps it feared that people would put off buying a Zune if they felt
such a gizmo was in the works.
It looks more like Redmond has had enough of
the Zune and is walking away from developing it further. Microsoft is more
interested in Windows Mobile 7 and might be jacking Zune under the bonnet of
devices that use it, but definitely not a Zunephone.
