Robbie Bach: No Zune Phone planned
Robbie Bach is the Microsoft’s president of Entertainment & Devices Division and responsible for some of the hippest products from the software giant.
He said in an interview that the company currently has no plans to launch a mobile phone based on their Zune media player.
In fact the company has no plans to get into the mobile phone business as they are happy developing the mobile platform based on the Windows operating system.
He said in a statement: “We will outsell the iPhone. We will outsell the BlackBerry.”
Bach added: “We don’t make phones ourselves. We don’t have any plans to make phones ourselves. Our focus is on the belief that a phone is a very personal thing. Different people want different types of phones. We think that is going to continue, and we think Windows Mobile is in a great position to service all those different opportunities.”
He also somewhat denied any plans to launch a Blu-Ray edition of the Xbox 360 gaming console which competes with Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3 in the market.
