The software major has reportedly stated sans confirmation that a mobile phone based on it's Zune digital media player 'is not an unreasonable move'.
Rumor has it that Microsoft may soon start developing a device billed to be a potential Apple iPhone killer.
The software major has reportedly stated sans confirmation that a mobile phone based on it's Zune digital media player 'is not an unreasonable move'.
The phone will likely be called the 'Zune Phone' and will be a competitor to Apple's iPhone. The iPhone is currently available only in the US exclusively from AT&T.
Why MS wants to bring iPhone Killer? Why not to Bring something Innovative & better than other PDA Phone? You are Software Giant, please do NOT come down from your position down.

The Zune brand is one and done. I was disappointed with the over-hyped "iPod killer" features, and from what I've heard/read, a lot of people feel the same way too. I'll never buy a Zune again, whether it be another music player, phone or paper weight (aka first-generation zune). Besides, with exception to the [weak] FM radio reception capability, the soon-to-be-released iPod Touch trumps all the once-touted "iPod killer" features of the Zune.

"Even when the Zune was launched, it was talked about as a potential iPod killer, which really never happened. Going by reports, the Zune failed to gain the kind of popularity that the iPod enjoys." That deserves consideration for understatement of the decade. It's kind of like saying "The Edsel failed to gain the popularity that the Honda Accord enjoys." The iPod is on it's way to becoming the best selling music gadget of all time and the Zune is going down in history as a New Coke level failure.

An iPhone killer... like Zune was the iPod killer... The smell of certain success? Or not?

Microsoft cannot innovate, it can only copy. But thats pretty fair as said: It doesn't matter who has better product but it matters who can sell the product.-

Hey genius, Microsoft didn't innovate Surface. They bought a small company that innovated Surface and called it their own innovation.
