Rumors running wild about Microsoft's "Pink" smartphone

I've never heard of a smartphone coming in pink ever before. Possibly because people think girls won't appreciate anything more than the pretty looks of a phone. However, good news for all the tech loving girls is that the rumor mill has started churning out some pretty good information on Windows Mobile 7 and Microsoft's mysterious "Pink" smartphone. It seems that it's a Microsoft-branded phone running a custom UI on top of Windows Mobile 7, developed by what's left of the Danger team and targeted at the Sidekick market. The rights of manufacturing this phone will go either to Motorola or Sharp. It also looks like Microsoft has hired an ad agency for the 'Pink' campaign.

Other manufacturers are beginning to get slightly worried. No one has any word on whether the Zune HD is running Tegra because it's based on Windows Mobile 7 Chassis 1, or whether Pink will launch on Verizon. Time will tell.
