I was called to work five or six hours early today, hence the lack of proper posting. I did, however, come across these interesting technology stories.<\/p>\n
Microsoft<\/strong> says a Zune phone “not unreasonable”.<\/a> Not content with losing to Apple’s<\/strong> iPod in the digital music player stakes, the technology supergiant is prepared to do battle in the phone market as well. Microsoft <\/strong>has previously said a phone was definitely on the way and that it was not part of the company’s strategy. However, the firm has shown a willingness to pour money into fields where it isn’t an established player so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n China sells iPhones despite US-only release.<\/a> It can make calls (but not receive them) and send text messages (but the voicemail feature doesn’t work). All for a smidge below $1,200. Some people have more money than sense.<\/p>\n Sony<\/strong> may start movie download service.<\/a> The company hasn’t been in the best of shape recently, so it makes sense for it to explore other sources of revenue.<\/p>\n
