Windows 7 Home Premium Zune services on Win Mobile
 

CEO Steve Ballmer reiterated this week that Microsoft has made the decision from building its own Zune telephone. (Chairman Bill Gates mentioned the same thing back again in January 2008, for those retaining score at household.)Ballmer also mentioned this week that Microsoft is searching to bring Zune software/services to Windows Cellular. This “news,” too, isn;t really new.“Pink” is a set of consumer-focused premium companies that Roz Ho and her merry band are prepping for Windows Mobile. (”Rouge” is the unified-communications/business equivalent of Pink.)While Windows Mobile 7 is delayed, according to News.com as well as at least one of my sources, Pink isn;t necessarily so. Pink is not tied to Windows Cellular 7, I hear. Microsoft could make Zune providers and various other service offerings developed by the folks it acquired as part of the Danger acquisition, any time.Microsoft won;t comment on Pink or even ackowledge the codename.By the way, Microsoft in the past has weighed whether or not to build a Zune telephone itself. I hear there are still some pockets inside the company who are pushing for Microsfot to deliver a Microsoft-branded Zune telephone. But for now, at least,Windows 7 Home Premium, it sounds like officials aren;t pursuing that path.
