What Ballmer said may suggest that the debate is raging within Microsoft, and may tilt in favour of having a Zune phone, regardless of the Zune's lack of market inroads against the iPod. What will be really interesting to see is if Microsoft once again "shafts" its partners by developing Sidekick software for the zPhone, leaving them all stranded on Windows Mobile and locked out of new applications and UI features developed solely for the zPhone. A case of history repeating, that would be... It’s not THAT far a stretch to suggest that a Zune phone is in the offing.

The next step I believe would to be for Microflaccid to go out and buy a handset maker. There are a couple out there that are salvageable like Palm or Motorola. I know people will disagree with that but, These handset companies are one good product from turning it around. Both have looked for buyers in the past. I do think this all is in the realm of possibility. I imagine that the zPhone might become a reality with the purchase of Danger.

My educated factual guess is that they might be referring to a change in the sidekicks since microsoft recently bought out Danger INC (www.sidekick.com).

Don't tell me people actually paid real money for those!! I agree with above poster that MS needs to make WM worth having before they venture into another market. If it's anything like their mouse and keyboard hardware, I'd take a pass. I thought Zune’s were packaged as the toy surprise in cereal boxes?

It would not take this long to come out with a "zune phone" if they wanted to create such a device / product. This is taking what was said in a different light.
