Needed: A 'Zune Touch'-Is there still life in Zune hardware line beyond the Zune HD?

With Windows Phone 7 finally out, what does the future hold for Microsoft's line of Zune media players? I suspect that very few people outside of Redmond are asking themselves that question right now -- and that anybody who does care assumes that the Zune HD will turn out to be the final stand-alone Zune. (Like all the other Zunes before it, the HD suffered from a malady I like to think of as "Gee, this is quite a good product, but it's in a class of devices that people lost interest in a year ago" syndrome.)

Me, I'm hoping for a new Zune soon -- maybe several of them. Hold on, hear me out, I'm serious.

One of the great mysteries of the current tech industry is why Apple's iPod Touch -- basically a smartphone without the phone, 3G connection, monthly charges, or contracts -- has no real competition. It's clearly selling like gangbusters, yet the only products that feel like direct competitors come from little companies like Archos. Wouldn't other big electronics companies like a piece of the action?

But when you think about it, maybe the lack of Touch rivals isn't all that surprising. A competitor would need to be built around a platform. The most obvious candidate would be Android -- but Android, as it stands, wouldn't be very satisfactory. The iPod Touch benefits not only from Apple's iOS but also from the whole iTunes ecosystem: the music, the video, the e-commerce infrastructure, the integration with other Apple products such as Macs, iPads, and Apple TV. Without this stuff, the Touch wouldn't be the appealing, ready-to-enjoy entertainment device that it is.

Android can't match any of that: It bundles in some loose integration with Amazon's music download service, and that's about it. Attempts by other companies to supplement Android's standard entertainment features, such as Verizon's use of a Blockbuster movie download app, aren't exactly inspiring.

That won't stop some companies from building Touch-like Android devices -- here's Samsung's Galaxy Player, which is rolling out in Europe. But few companies are in a position to put together a suite of entertainment services that are even vaguely in the same league as the ones Apple controls.

But Windows Phone 7? I think you could use it to build a decent iPod Touch competitor right now. All the money Microsoft has invested in Zune hasn't bought it a significant percentage of the media player market, but it's resulted in a solid music service (Zune Pass), a reasonable selection of movies and TV episodes to download, and a piece of ambitious Windows media-management software. And Windows Phone 7's gaming features are on the Xbox Live platform -- a form of integration into a larger ecosystem that even Apple can't match.

The smart, entertaining user interface also feels like it work just fine on a media handheld designed to appeal to millions of non-nerds; Android still feels a bit like it was designed by geeks, for geeks.

At the right price, a WP7-based media handheld that was essentially a phoneless Samsung Focus could be the first plausible mainstream iPod Touch competitor. I'm not saying it would be a hit-there's still the question of "Why should I buy this instead of an iPod Touch?" -- but it seems like it'd be worth a try.

Microsoft itself could release a "Zune Touch," or it could work with Samsung, LG, HTC, or another hardware maker, or with several of them. I don't have a clue whether such a device is on the road map. But I'm struck by the unbelievable patience that the company has shown for the Zune brand name. It's practically synonymous with "unsuccessful Microsoft attempt to compete with Apple," yet it lives on -- Windows Phone 7's desktop software, entertainment services, and media apps all put the Zune name front and center. That's especially odd given that Microsoft has a history of changing the names of products early and often when they're not instant hits. (Back in January of 2009, I suggested that Microsoft consider dumping the name Zune in favor of "Xbox," but it didn't listen.)

With all the Zune-ified aspects of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is doubling down on the brand rather than getting ready to phase it out. Could it be doing so at least in part because it thinks there's still life in Zune hardware line beyond the Zune HD?

Microsoft using free Xbox 360s and Zune Passes to sell Windows Phone 7

Microsoft may be throwing around some of its weight by providing carriers with free Xbox 360 consoles and Zune Pass subscriptions to help sell its Windows Phone 7 handsets. As the October 21st and early November launch dates approach, carrier promotions are cropping up left and right and Microsoft is presumably behind most, if not all, of these giveaways.

Starting in the US, AT&T is offering a free month of Microsoft’s Zune Pass subscription service for all customers who buy a Windows Phone 7 handset. Microsoft now offers a 14-day public trial for all customers and is adding in two extra weeks to sweeten the deal for AT&T customers. The subscription music service offers unlimited downloads for the life of the service and is available for $15 per month or $45 for 3-months. Zune Pass subscribers are also allowed to keep 10 songs per month.

Speaking of Microsoft, the Redmond company is offering its own incentive to prospective Windows Phone buyers. If you sign up for Windows Phone pre-order notifications and eventually buy a phone, you are eligible for three months of free Zune service courtesy of Microsoft. I am not sure if this promotion can be combined with AT&T offer but the savvy shopper within me hopes that you would be able to score four full months of free Zune service with the purchase of a single Windows Phone 7 handset on AT&T.

The biggest winners in this promotion extravaganza are those that live in Austria and Spain. Customers of Austria-based A1 will receive a free Xbox 360 if they buy a Windows Phone handset with a two-year contract. A1 is being extra generous and allowing customers to receive two new Xbox 360 consoles in exchange for signing up for two new lines of service. The carrier is also offering an Xbox 360 raffle and will give away consoles to 360 lucky customers who pre-ordered a Windows Phone.

Customers in Spain looking for a free Xbox 360 should look no further than Movistar’s Central Madrid Store. The wireless carrier is giving away an Xbox 360 console to the first 100 customers to buy a Windows Phone handset on October 21st. This promotion is apparently limited to this single store and the launch day only. Anyone willing to guess whether this promotion means people will be lining up for Windows Phone handsets tomorrow morning?
