CES Zune phone, no. Pink, maybe
Gizmodo has the word from your horse;s (sorry Brian Seitz) mouth: No Zune phone is coming in the Customer Electronics Exhibit.What could be coming — and is likely the source of confusion — the “Pink” premium consumer mobile services. Pink is not the codename for a phone; it is the codename for a set of services under development (of which a Zune music service is expected to be one). Pink has a business-services sibling; that set of unified-communications mobile services is codenamed “Rouge.”Neither Pink nor Rouge is tied to a specific Windows Mobile release, I have heard. Both are independent, the same way that Windows Live for Mobile services aren;t dependent on a particular WinMobile release.Caveat: Microsoft isn;t telling me any of this and won;t even confirm the codenames I;ve heard. Everything I said above is what t I think Pink and Rouge are, based on information from sources who asked not to be named. If anyone has any more specifics to share, feel free to e-mail me privately or post a comment publicly here….
