Microsoft Zune Tweets are a hoax

Tweets concerning a possible Microsoft Zune phone that appeared yesterday have been revealed as a hoax

Published on May 13, 2009

Rumours that emerged yesterday purporting to be from Microsoft's Office 2010 Twitter account were actually a hoax.

The Tweets hinted that a Microsoft Zune phone announcement was in the works and that there was a new product launch on the horizon.

Shortly before the prankster owned up to the comments Microsoft confirmed that the “officethemovie” address was nothing to do with the official Microsoft page, and that the real Office Twitter account is “office2010movie”.

Whether or not the project that is known as Pink will surface with an actual honest-to-goodness Zune Mobile phone or instead whether it will be a new software platform designed to integrate mobiles with Zune's current and future feature-set is yet to be seen.
