Five years after it first launched its Zune portable digital media player, Microsoft has reportedly decided to stop making the device. However, it will apparently continue to offer the Zune music and media service on Windows Phone 7 smartphones, as well as the Xbox 360. Microsoft did not respond to requests for comment. Microsoft has reportedly stated that Windows Phone will be the focus for its mobile music and video strategy. However, it has pledged to honor the warranties for owners of existing Zune devices as well as those who purchase the last devices on the market.
