Microsoft “Zune phone” vs. Apple iPhone
Microsoft said on Thursday a Zune-branded phone is part of its future plans to expand in the digital music market. “A Zune phone is definitely part of the future of this brand,” Chris Stephenson, general manager of global marketing for Zune, told reporters at a news conference. He did not give specific details. (Reuters)
In their constant tailing of Apple, Microsoft announced the “Zune phone” after ThinkSecret reported the Apple iPhone will make it’s debut at Macworld SF in January 2007. Apple will pack several high-end features into its phone, including a 3-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch display, and complete iTunes/iPod features and integration, sources with direct connections to the company’s plans report.
