RSSVerizon named a suspect in Microsoft's 'Pink' mystery

As we inch closer to the anticipated marketing launch that will reveal to the public exactly what the project code-named "Pink" is, Verizon has reportedly been in talks with Microsoft to secure a contract for the device central to the project.
Rumored to be the touchphone that will finally catapult Windows Mobile into competition with the Apple iPhone, HTC G1, BlackBerry Storm, and Palm Pre, "Pink" is believed to be the product of Danger Inc. makers of the Sidekick OS and part of Microsoft's new Premium Mobile Experiences team. The team is led by Roz Ho, formerly the General Manager of Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit, which developed and marketed Office for Mac.
Roz Ho wasn't much good at the Macintosh BU so I can only imagine how ineffective she'll be delivering late mobile products now.
If Microsoft can deliver on their touch technology and make a phone that is more crash proof than earlier versions of the operating system, a lot of people will be happy, but they're at such a niche of the market now, why spend more chasing it?

|And why should we wait and address actual producuts that are actually available in a knowable manner when we can speculate on the very existence of a speculated speculation.
BN reporting at its best(sic).
Its pretty bad when we don't even have enough speculation to speculate about!
And our responses are to be kept on topic 'how' exactly? When even the thread lacks sufficient specificity to define the topic at hand?
yawn...
