Zune phone to be unveiled at CES 2009?

Zune
“It’s not a concept you’ll ever get from us. We’re in the Windows Mobile business.” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has assured us all that a Zune phone will never see the light of day. However, Jose Fermoso, a blogger for Wired, claims that the device could make a possible debut by Microsoft on January 7th at CES 2009.

Trip Chowdhry, an analyst for Global Equities Research, says that Ballmer will announce a mobile phone that jumps off from the Zune, combining the features of a Zune with those of a Sidekick. The phone will have a physical keyboard as well as a large screen for multimedia features. However, there is no rumor on whether the phone will be touchscreen. Of course, all of this is simply a rumor and is completely unconfirmed. All one can do is sit back and wait until January for an announcement. Microsoft will have truly changed markets if releasing this phone, jumping into the phone hardware business with a more consumer oriented mobile operating system.
