Report: Microsoft Denies "Zune Phone" CES Launch Rumor

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on December 11, 2008 - 11:30am.

Los Angeles - After much speculation about whether Microsoft (NASD: MSFT) will be introducing a "Zune Phone" -- or device that mixes its Zune digital media player with Danger's Sidekick phone -- at the Consumer Electronics Show next month, Zune Group Manager Brian Seitz told Kotaku there will be "no Zune phone at CES."

The company may still unveil progress on a project, codenamed "Pink," which according to reports will enable Zune-like features to run on Windows Mobile-powered devices.

It also remains possible that Microsoft will introduce a Zune Phone, but it will be after CES, perhaps at the 3GSM conference in February.
