We covered the Zune Pink project rumor regarding a Zune phone by Microsoft; however, the latest rumors indicate is that the mobile arena isn’t looking at a single Microsoft branded mobile handset, but an instead an entire software and services platform.
The news is that Project Pink may include Zune Mobile support, which may render into a Zune Mobile software package for Windows Mobile that could well be more robust media support than any previous Microsoft powered mobile phone, and could also predict a mobile downloads store.
This would allow Windows handset makers to compete with the iPhone iTunes system and the Nokia Ovi services. The Zune mobile platform hopefully will also bring an app store that brings Windows smartphone apps to one single place.

i think if they made a simple browser that allowed you to enter in URL’s with a keyboard that the touch pad could navigate like the xbox’s digital keyboard than it would be a big plus. youtube, hulu, email, and other internet updates would be a huge leap forward. also if you could watch netflix’s instant movies. they would have an entirely new edge on the portable market. i think its only a matter of time until they do something like this. microsoft is full of very smart individuals who are not going to let a billion dollar investment like zune just be flushed down the toilet.
