It’s the much talked about and rumored Zune Phone. Yes my mortal friends, Microsoft may finally be en-route to revealing the latest and arguably the most advanced (at least for Microsoft) OS we have yet to see on a smartphone. It was reported on Afterdawn that Microsoft is setting up the stage to unveil its entry into the world of smartphones.This could be something to talk about for weeks and possibly months to come and it will ignite a whole new fan boy war amongst the loyalists.

The phone is reported to be an enhanced design of already available Zune HD and it will run Windows Mobile 7. The phone has 5MP camera, and be able to play movies in 720p HD in it.

As if we did not have enough equipment manufacturers and mobile intelligent manufacturing. Seems like now each and every company has definite plans to make cloud computing like what broadband Internet is today, that is, easily accessible through any medium.

It’s not 1st April so we won’t be fooled but if it’s really true, as indicated by afterdawn.com, then I just do not know what Nokia will come up with in 2010. Poor Nokia thought that with E72 and N900 along with the X series, there is no room for others to play. They can either re-work on their Symbian OS or take sides of Microsoft or Google for OS choice of future.

Finally, turning to the relationship of Bill Gates on Twitter with the Zune Phone. Can’t you guess, Microsoft is his baby and if it launches Zune, he will all be up and about telling his followers how good the phone is (which actually I’m hoping it should be). Therefore, Mr. Gates, the salesman in you can never rest.
