One has to wonder if they will cross interface this with the Zune Marketplace and have the same type of apps on it?
I, and many of myFriends, have been using 'myPhone' as a joke name for the iPhone since it arrived on the market all those years ago. Similarly myFace, myTube, myPlayer, etc (you get the idea).
Even the Simpsons used 'myPhone', 'myPhonies' & 'myBill' in a glorious piss-take of (m)Apple, and NOW stupidwindows is actually using it as a proper name. How dare they spoil myFun! Couldn't they come up with something original ???
...what am i saying!! Microsoft!! come up with something original!! - clearly i need medication of some sort,... where's myPills
whats a Zune ??
