ZunePhone coming soon?
Market Watch reports that technology giant Microsoft has just filed for a gadget that’ll most likely be taken as the company’s answer to Apple’s iPhone.
According to the filing, which was submitted Monday to the Federal Communications Commission, Microsoft and other firms will submit for the agency’s approval a prototype of a wireless device that could be used to talk over the Internet. It describes a wireless device that utilizes OFDM, a technology that can be used to route digital TV and voice calls among devices.
While the FCC filing makes no mention of the Zune, analyst Rob Enderle said that the filing seems to indicate “an internet device or a mobile VoIP phone,” that “certainly could be a Zune derivative product.” A VoIP-enabled Zune would be greatly different from the iPhone, which is intended for use on cellular networks.
