Microsoft's "pink" smartphone to be microsoft Branded!!!

This is sure to be amazing if this turns out to be true! They say it could be introduced as early as this fall!! Still want that touch pro 2??

http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/m...osoft-branded/

"Ready for even more rumors about Windows Mobile 7 and Microsoft's mysterious "Pink" smartphone project? Good, cause we've got a few -- and the first is potentially huge. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley says her best understanding of "Pink" is now that it's a Microsoft-branded phone running a custom UI on top of Windows Mobile 7, developed by what's left of the Danger team and targeted at the Sidekick market"

If true i hope they add a proximity sensor as a requirement. Also it states that multi-touch is a requirement, this tells me that wm7 will be multi-touch and capacitive screens are coming people!!!

Yeah but that gives you the idea of what it will contain. Those are minimum specs to run WM7... sound good to me...

Re: Microsoft's "pink" smartphone to be microsoft Branded!!!

a zune phone doesnt sound to far fetched.... especially if they want to tap into apples market, makes sense

iphone has a ipod and phone

zune phone would definitely make sense.
