First Pictures Released of Microsoft's Pink Phones

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

There’s been loose talk of a Zune phone for some time now, and it looks like we’ve finally found out what it might be. According to some scoop from the folks over at Gizmodo, Microsoft’s reported Pink phone is the device at large, and it’ll come in two forms.

The two models, which are known as the Turtle and the Pure, look an awful lot like a Palm Pre and a Sidekick respectively. The phones will be made by Sharp, who will share branding with Microsoft. The phones are reportedly aimed at a younger audience, which explains the perpetually round aesthetics.

It’s expected that they’ll feature Zune services (hint: Zune phone) and have their own app store, making it an obvious competitor to Apple’s iPhone. No word yet on pricing or availability.

It's like the Palm Pre except...not.

In everyway that the Pre is slim and curvy and sexy, the Pink is bloated and ugly.

Like the article said they must be aiming at a young audience, because it looks like a Fisher Price toy cell phone for little kids and not a market changing piece of cutting edge technology.
