Why You'll Never See a Real 'Zune Phone'

A rumor circulating this week says Microsoft will unveil a Zune phone at CES. Most columnists and bloggers who mentioned it said Microsoft should not build a Zune phone, but probably will. My view is that Microsoft should sell a Zune phone, but probably won't. Why? Because the company simply doesn't have the vision to build something really great in the consumer electronics space. No, I'm not kidding. A Zune phone done right would be awesome.
