Zune, 360 and the former Danger all in a single MS division? Depending on how tight knit this group is we could potentially see some pretty amazing devices. Perhaps MS can team up with Nvidia to create one amazing "convergence" device.
Take a Zune, a 360, WinMo 6.1 (7), Sidekick and APX 2500 platform and throw it in a blender. With any luck you would be pouring one sweet multi-media device out into your cool frosty glass.
Platform capable of 3D UI and Gaming (APX 2500) Customizable advanced OS with a large pool of developers (WinMo) Slick form factor (Sidekick) Multimedia Support (Zune) Access to Online Media Content and Games (XBOX Live) Connection to a home gaming platform (XBOX 360)
The stars are aligned for Microsoft to do far more than introduce a youth oriented texting "smart phone." It is all a matter of how far Microsoft wants to take it. If done right they could compete with Sony in the portable gaming market, and Apple on both the "trendy phone" and portable media player market.

I guess all we can do is sit back and wait.
