I got all riled up last week about the possiblity — really, more of a hope than an expectation — that we might see a Zune phone revealed at CES. Deep down I think I knew I was talking a lot of nonsense, mainly because we know Microsoft isn’t going to abandon Windows Mobile all of a sudden, and we also know they’re planning on expanding Zune-related services to Windows Mobile among other platforms. “Project Pink,” a semi-mysterious project cited in the rumors, is really a set of WinMo-related services, which we will probably see explained further at CES. Dang!
