There have been a number of reports over the past day about Microsoft planning a Zune phone. Here's a transcript of an exchange between reporters and Zune's Marketing GM during a recent news conference.
Reporter: "Any thoughts on how you can compete as cell phones become more prevalent as far as MP3 playing technology?"
Chris Stephenson, GM, Zune marketing: "As I said earlier on, the entire Zune platform and brand is about a family of devices. So to the degree that phones and other products exist in the family going forward, absolutely, that's definitely where this is all going."
Reporter: "So a Zune phone is somewhere over the horizon?"
Stephenson: "There is a possibility for a Zune phone, yes."
Later, another reporter: "You raised the possibility of a Zune phone. Does that mean it's going to be a Zune-branded phone, or is it going to be a phone made by someone else with the Zune software on it?"
Stephenson: "We don't have any specifics to announce on that. I think what I was saying is that a Zune phone is definitely part of the future of this brand. We really don't have any specifics to announce right now."
So one thing is pretty much sure from this that a Zune phone just like Apple's iPhone is definitely on the horizon.
