Microsoft: Windows Mobile will be on fewer phones

The thing is, another Microsoft executive, Todd Peters, told "The New York Times" that Microsoft is the midst of responding to changes in the smart phone market (read: Success of iPhone) by "retooling" and putting Windows Mobile on ... gulp ... fewer devices. Eh? How will that work in Microsoft's favor you ask? "I'd rather have fewer devices and be more focused," Peters said. That way, Microsoft will get "better integration" between the phones and Windows Mobile. Yes, I suppose that is true. Taken the extreme, Microsoft could get the best integration by making the phone themselves. And then they could add the Zune software to it in order to capitalize on that system's digital media prowess and UI navigational niceties. And here's a thought. You could call this thing Zune Mobile.
