Robbie Bach, Microsoft's entertainment and devices division president admits the company is also planning to introduce its own mobile phone and integrate the Zune digital music player, but said such plan "is not at top of its priority list."
Bach said, "You have to find out what it's great at. Is it great as a phone, or is it great as a music player? If it's great as a music player, then it's just another iPod trying to be a phone."
He said the biggest challenge facing Apple is merging the two different formats of media player and phone, as well as making sure the unit have sufficient battery life and good screen size.

words of a guy that design a mp3 player that looks like a brick shaped turd.
i'd dare to say microsoft is scared apple launched it first.
ms had pocket pc phones with touchscreens and media players out, long before apple even thought about an
"iphone" (see htc/qtek etc). the only thing that will make the iphone sale stronger than ppcs is the
"coolness factor". other than that it has all been done before.
apple seems to be afraid that users start noticeing that the iphone is nothing more than a redesigned pocket
pc.
some poeple started to create themes for windows mobile that makes the home screen look lik the
iphone one. apple doesnt like that and starts going after the theme creators with their lawyers.
