Rumor: Zune Phone - or Xbox Zune? - coming to CES 2009

Zune Phone or Xbox Zune Announcement Coming At CES 09? - Image 1The rumor mill has coughed up a fresh one on the Zune phone. Oft spoken of, oft denied, this rumor's been brewing for years.

What's interesting is that the rumor has mutated, and has managed to pique my interest once more. No longer is it just a Zune phone, no. The rumor now goes on to say that we might actually see a web-enabled Xbox Zune.

It's an intriguing idea, considering how much the iPhone's being hailed as the next big platform in gaming.

The Xbox Zune is mere speculation of course, an idea suggested by Wired's Gadget Lab as a way to reconcile Microsoft's denial of the Zune phone, and the rumors surrounding the device. The latest of the rumors come from analyst Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research.

Chowdhry claims that the Zune Phone will combine the best features of the Zune and the hardware design of Danger's mobile Sidekick. The device will also have motion enhancement features, like an accelerometer. Sounds like someone has iPenis envy. I'd say if the rumors are true, we can also expect a touch screen.

Chowdhry also claims that we will see this Zune Phone (I'd rather see the Xbox Zune!) at the Consumer Electronics Show 2009, which will be held on January 8.

M$ should enter the protable gaming by the backdoor. Not offering high tech PSP style gaming (they wouldn't be able to sell one console and devs would diss it since PSP and DS sold hundered of millions of consoles already!!), but offering a New zune that has gaming capabilities. JUST THINK FOR A SECOND!!!



If they sell their new Xbox Zune (temp title) at a loss, but with a free game (simple game, so that people who buy it for music try gaming too), tons will buy games. And when I'll buy my next mp3 player (currently a 30GB Ipod), I'll consider gaming (right now only the ipod touch) and price, lol. If the zune is selling at a looss (like the PSP and DS at first), and try to enter portable gaming without offering the top of the line graphics, they could succeed. I mean, for 199$, an MP3 player with XBOX written on it would say "I can play tons of good games". We all know the brand XBOX. And I would buy that if it's not bigger than current Zune 2 (bigger is lame, buy a PSP or iDS instead...).



So I think that with the good timing (right in the middle of 2k9, with good supplies for the holidays) and with good games (bribing Mistwalker and Rockstar again?), they could suceed. Beat nintendo and/or sony on the portable gaming? NO WAY! But they could enter the scene without a big kick in the ass at least, lol.

It would be awesome to play games that were on the original Xbox. But how good would the game's quality itself be?

You most likely own an Xbox 360, yet you bash Microsoft.



Also, God forbid a company should try to make a profit without being called an evil corporation. I guess the only way to make people happy is to be an unsuccessful mom and pop shop, because if they make money, they'll turn into an evil M$, right?



Dumbass.
