I just want some Zune functionality/interface/integration on a phone. And this has always seemed an inevitable given IMO. Most likely it will come in the form of some amalgamation involving Zune services and Danger's contributions via WM7. For MS's mobile hopes it better be sooner rather than later. I still love my WM phone, but there's lot of other intriguing devices out there and it's getting more competitive every day. Microsoft's still in a prime position to capitalize on their massive ecosystem (Zune, Xbox, Media Center, Windows, Live, Office, etc) BUT it's going to require a home run hit with WM7.
