It's possible that this device would be able to connect with a data plan via 3G and not actually be a phone. If that's the case, then you could have a sort of quasi-Archos gaming device from Microsoft. What will really make or break this thing in the end is the application pool that develops around it. The interest that developers take in whatever comes out will translate into ours. If third-party development is slim, no doubt sales will follow suit.

@Kaiser-Machead: What if you put some kind of mobile Skype on the phone-less mobile device? Hmm.

@Hello Mister Walrus: That's an example of what I mean. If things like that don't develop, then interest overall won't either.

Details on this better start coming hard and fast, before I drop a few bones on the new OLED Walkman. The last thing I want is to get the Sony and then have Microsoft announce the new Zune cures cancer, as well as enlarges that "certain part" of the male anatomy.

"...sits somewhere in-between the Xbox and Zune platforms."

So the new platform is a scrotum? That's the only thing I can think of between a dick and a shithole.

Oh, c'mon people, settle down! I'm just kidding! The Xbox is NOT a dick of a platform.

@ALT: After consulting urbandictionary.com, it appears I may not be the only one who uses this definition of chode.

@bosskev: I believe we have someone strategically placing their comment in the thread with the highest responses simply to be seen, despite it's irrelevance to the thread.

Ha! Gizmodo fooled me once with the Zune Phone. I will not fall for such shennanegins again.

Damn it, I probably will. That would be freaking awsome.

@Xero44: Actually, that would have to be from the YKK device, long rumored to be in production.

I just thought that the YKK thing was interesting, and tried to shoe horn it in. My Bad.
