Zune Software Coming in Windows Mobile 7?

In a recent chat with Engadget, Steve Ballmer seems to confirm that the next version of Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile 7, is going to have the Zune software fully integrated. That’s wicked, and speculation is that it means the end of Windows Media Player on the Windows Mobile platform. It is further evidence of Microsoft’s efforts to merge or at least blur the lines between their major platforms. Good news all around.
