If you would be a Microsoft employee, which division would you like to work for? The “successful” Zune or Windows Mobile? You already see I’d go for the Windows Mobile thing. Why? Well with just 2 million Zune players sold to date, Zune isn’t the iPod competitor people would have expected. But Windows Mobile, going now to 6.1 is used on a variety of smartphones and it would deserve more

The guys over at Microsoft appear to favor Zune. Zune has podcasting support, it offers plenty of unique content with more music and TV shows. Windows Mobile doesn’t have all that, although people would want all those things on their cell phones right? . Same thing when XNA (.NET-based game development kit) was announced. Zune now has support for XNA Game Studio 3.0 while Windows Mobile, despite having been said it will have XNA support, doesn’t have it!

And maybe that’s why we would all rather have an iPod Touch then a Zune! Or make it an iPhone so we can also have some decent phone conversations.
