‘Zune phone’ patent application surfaces"
We told you about the rumor of Zune 2.0 rumors. You can add another one; Engadget pointed us to a “Zune phone” interface patent application unearthed by Mad4MobilePhones. It appears to be a sort of “tiled” setup for for “improved user interface for mobile devices such as smartphones” and “personal digital assistants.”
Engadget pointed out that some of the icons appear to point to weather, music, and the like. There’s also a TV icon with rabbit ears (umm, online video?), a globe (mobile Web?), a shopping cart, and…a dog? From the likes of it, it definitely looks like a Microsoft answer to the iPhone.
Concrete Zune phone rumors started flying around a few months ago. And keep in mind that Microsoft has filed other applications involving wireless communication over a 4G WiMax network.
