Microsoft’s Windows Mobile OS has already lost its market share due to Google’s Android OS and Apple’s iPhone OS.  Now the company tries to regain its market share by launching their own smartphones. The rumored Microsoft Pink aka Zune phone is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona next month or during CTIA event in March.

Zune Phone is rumored to come with the Microsoft’s next generation mobile operating Windows Mobile 7. Zune video store will be integrated in Windows Mobile 7. It will let the users to buy songs and music subscription with a single click. Zune Phone may also provide easy access to social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gaming service. Regardless of when and what is announced you can be guaranteed of one      thing, no matter how good the product is it will be balanced by the majority of tech writers and analysts.

Ihis is not Microsoft’s fault really. It’s just an extension of the opinion that anything Microsoft does is good enough. It will never be as cool as the iPhone and it will never be as good as the Android based phones.

There well be long diatribes about how Microsoft is too late to market and will never catch up regardless of quality or their product is cool. Screeds will be written prognosticating just how a Windows Phone is going to fail.

Personally, I hope that if they are going down this road they come out with a killer product that will make more than a few people eat some humble pie. Chances are though even if they do launch a great phone everyone will find some reason to say it stinks and that Microsoft is a company out of step.
