More ‘ZunePhone’ Details from FCC document
It appears that there is more information in the FCC document itself. The most important information that comesis that this device appears to emphasize TV Channels rather than phone capabilities. The document also doesn’t give any real confirmation that there will be phone capabilities (traditional or VOIP) in this device.
This is the image that was provided with the document:
It doesn’t give away much detail other than that it will also use a UHF TV Band Antenna and also be using 4G technologies. It also appears the use regular WiFi which is the Network Processor at the bottom of the image and it shows the 2.4GHz modem signal. I am not sure what the purpose of the CR scanner is in this model, but the other parts seem logical in transfering TV channels as it saws.
Below is a screenshot of Questions and Awnsers regarding the device in the document.
So this information continues to point out that it is targeted towards recieving TV signals and there is really nothing there that says this device is a phone. So could this just be the next generation of Zunes? Or maybe some other device that is totally irrelevent to the Zune? To me this seems to be quite similar to Sony’s LocationFree TV’s.

Humm… not sure what I think about this; if this is supposed to be a “streaming tv”, would someone that goes to work in a tube want to watch tv instead of selecting for himself what TV shows he wants to watch on his, maybe, 20 minute ride to work?? Humm…. well, if I can get CNN International on this on my way to school via bus, then that would be nice :) And why is there icelandic in the website link to the FCC Document, because Svartifoss means Black Waterfall
I’ve just come across this on the WinSuperSite: “With this new type of Windows Mobile-based smart phone (which, frankly, is most likely based on the original Blackberry), the market has exploded, and device makers are responding. You’ll see entries from all the standard players, but also companies like HP and Toshiba, which haven’t historically fielded smart phones. These devices will appear from all major cell phone carriers in the US throughout 2007. T-Mobile will likely be out first with devices in late March or early April. Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon will follow suit shortly thereafter, I was told.”
This was in a review about the upcoming Windows Mobile 6 - could it be that HP, Toshiba and such are maybe going to enter the mobile market?
uhf antenna…
