Microsoft and Nokia teaming up for Zune phone?

The Zune may not have seen the light of day here in the UK, but that’s not stopped rumours of an apparent tie–up between Microsoft and Nok

According to fan blog Zunescene, a “well–placed source within Microsoft” has said the Finnish mobile makers are working with a team of developers on the “integration of Zune Marketplace content.”

This suggests that rather than a new piece of iPhone–baiting hardware, Microsoft will integrate their service with Nokia’s new Comes With Music. This alongside apparent plans to put Zune Marketplace on WinMo phones like the HTC Touch Diamond.

We’ve got calls in with both Nokia and Microsoft, and will bring you any more news as soon as we get it.
