The press conference started like 30 minutes ago right? Any news? Specifications? Etc?

Thanks for the info on this, i've been holding out on buying an HTC Touch Pro 2, because i'm waiting to see what WM7 is all about, and get a new WM7 phone. THis should be interesting. Also if they implemented Live across phones, i see nothing but success.

omg, Xbox Live intergation loooks awesome! Acheivements on the go! WOOHOO!

Thanks for the info guys. After reading some preliminary info and hands on with the device, it sounds incredibly good. I love the ZuneHD and they seem to be using alot of the UI design concepts from the device. They have a good synergy of Zune, XBox Live, and Windows Live going on so that is definitely a plus. I almost wish I did not just purchase a Droid Eris. But by the time these new devices hit later this year, I will not have to wait long for an upgrade.

This is better than X10!!

WinMo7.. bring it!!!

Nice list of phone manufaturers.

Not that I read.  But if the OS for WM7 and the ZuneHD are close enough, there might be a possibility of the ZuneHD being able to use the applications developed for WM7, since they both appear to be using the Zune Marketplace.

Some details that i've seen so far is an interegation of apps throughout the phone, so no more getting into an app, and being "stuck" in that app space, but full interegation throughout the phone with all apps, and so apps can show you previews of some sort befor you go into them. With Xbox Live on WM7 you can get a "nudge" to join a game, or to play a game when it's you turn. Pretty awesome. Every WIndows Mobile 7 phone is also a Zune HD player. The interface is pretty much the same as a Zune HD, and connecting/syncing with the PC is easy, and automatically pops Zune. The Zune media you bought on Xbox Live/PC/Zune can be brought over to your Mobile.

You bring up a very good point here.  Zune Pass + 3G = no need to have music on your phone, stream whatever song you want, whenever you want.  I think the removal of original XBox games support on Live has more to do with this mobile Live than anything else.  It looks like we are about to see some very cool things with Live in the future. 

It is very cool that Zune content that you purchase will be available from the TV(360), PC, Zune, and WM7.  MS seems to really get the picture that their disparate groups can create some pretty damn cool stuff when brought together.

I hope they still allow the hardware to have microSDs, camera and keyboard. I also don't see nvidia as a partner. I wonder if Tegra will be used in any phones.
