Ms not launching a "zune phone" is prolly the stupidest thing yet..especially since the zune is superior to the ipodtouch(sans the 64 gb mem factor) in almost every aspect..
As for a gaming device.. MS have barely understood how the gaming industry works.. Right now wer seeing a repeat of the DC vs PS2 battle.. initial low price has worked wonders for 360 but as the PS3 approaches a similar price point, ppl are abandoning the 360 and adopting the slim instead..
The zune's limited US launch is ridiculous.. They should have launched this device in atleast 8-10 countries on day 1. Personally, despite my love for my(second)360.. I think the Handheld market is saturated.. apart from gamegear and PSP( and to a certain degree, wonderswan) no other device has gnawed into nintendo's marketshare...
So no MS shouldnt produce a handheld..no matter how pretty tegra is. Not unless their gonna make something with better battery life, better inputs(dual analogue) and waay better graphics than the PSP.. and they dont charge us $100 for a wifi add-on!
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
