Reports are coming in that the Zune phone - said to currently be in development by Microsoft - may be made in conjunction with Nokia.

From a "Microsoft source", the news is that Nokia is developing phones that would be compatible with the Zune Marketplace.

Although not said to be a specific custom handset design, the plan would see Nokia would integrate its software with content from the Microsoft-run Zune store.

Nokia has never produced a Windows Mobile device, although it does offer support for protected Windows Media files, but has its own multimedia offerings via its "Ovi" service.

No timeline, or other details have been revealed, leaving this firmly in the realm of rumour for now.
