The latest article on EDN talks about the design motivations of the Zune. However, that's not all they did. They found something interesting out.
“To whit, I was particularly intrigued by Huang’s comment, “What is interesting is that the iMX31 is a processor that is used in many cell phones, and the design parameters of the iMX31 is completely consistent with a very high-end, small and compact cell phone which would retail for a few hundred dollars, assuming no carrier subsidy.” Microsoft has already admitted that a Zune-based mobile phone is under development. Could this design, like D-Link’s NAS which I recently dissected, be not only intended for production today but also as a springboard for future plans?”
I don't know about you, but I can't wait until more info on the rumored ZunePhone is released.
