What ‘Zune Mobile’ is and isn’t
All about Microsoft — ... . But Paul Thurrott was actually the first person I saw use the “Zune Mobile” name to refer specifically to this platform, after his meeting this week with the Windows Mobile team.

Not Zune Phone…Zune Mobile?
Mobility Site — ... the rumored Zune Phone project from Microsoft supposedly codenamed Pink. It appears that the concept of a Zune Phone handset is dead as dreams. Brian Seitz, Zune’s Group Manager at Microsoft told Gizmodo’s Brian Lam directly "No Zune phone at CES.". Damn. So now what? We still have the Pink rumors, we still have Ballmer talking about porting Zune functionality to other devices….does that leave us with anything?
