After the findings of possible Zune phone drivers on the updates, Neowin questioned Microsoft but a spokesperson confirmed “we have no plans to create a Zune phone.” The spokesperson also stated that one day Zune could be “part of the phone experience” but added there had been no announcements by the software giant regarding how or if that would happen. However, Microsoft always strongly denied they would brand an MP3 device, aka the Zune. If a recent Microsoft job listing is anything to go by then the fact the company is looking to employee an individual with “working knowledge of cell-phone 2G and 3G technologies” certainly reveals that it’s something they are considering for the future.
Neowin believes the updates are for Windows Mobile 7 enabled devices. The Zune software would then support a device or number of devices in a similar way to Apple’s iTunes software. We’re already aware that a number of key OEMs, working closely with Microsoft, have been sent strict requirements for Windows Mobile 7 including capacitive touch screen support, compass and GPS functionality.
What ever it is we are expecting it to be revelead at MWC starting Feb 15.
