Microsoft has finally made things clear about the future of the Zune and Zune HD media players. According to the Redmond software giant Windows Phone will be the focus of its mobile music and video strategy. Here’s official statement:
We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work with Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices. Customer service has been, and will remain a top priority for us.
This shouldn’t surprise anybody though given that every Windows Phone handsets is actually a Zune player too so the death of the Zune players is nothing more that the logical fate of the product.
