The Mobile Devices division is Microsoft’s fastest growing, most cutting edge, and most competitive business.

Re: Microsoft advertising for wm engineers for 7 to work on zune intrgration

That's the problem when you post from a fruity phone. Makes you look like a lemon occasionally

I wasn't sure if it was announced or rumoured. This hopefully concretes it a bit.

I'm looking forward to having a zune wm7 device in a years time

Bit of a commute from the IOM to Washington. Might give it a miss.
