\"\"Few reporting on Microsoft are as plugged in to the day-to-day happenings in Redmond as Mary Jo Foley. So much so that she’s apt to write an entire column (or two) about internal Microsoft reorganizations — moves that can be telling from a company attempting to seamlessly integrate<\/a> its Zune, Xbox, Media Center, and Windows Mobile products, services, and experiences. While you might find it interesting that Enrique Rodriguez<\/a> has left the company in the latest shakeup to hit MS’ Entertainment and Devices unit, the following sentence presented as fact<\/em> is what caught our attention: <\/p>\n

\n
“Pink is the codename for both the set of premium mobile services and one or more Windows Mobile phones aimed at the teen\/twenty-something market.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, what she’s referring to is the infamous Project Pink<\/a>, the mystery whatsit said to be emanating<\/a> from the Microsoft Premium Mobile eXperiences (PMX) group built around the people and technologies nabbed after the Danger acquisition. We’re also intrigued by the discussion of Pink in a separate breath from the consumer build of Windows Mobile 7<\/a>. This makes us wonder if Microsoft is working on a three-pronged strategy that will result in targetted Windows Mobile 7 business and consumer devices as well as Pink phones specifically aimed at teens and twenty-somethings. Mary Jo Foley speculates that the Pink devices might be the first to run Microsoft’s new premium Pink services but still be WinMo 6.x based — if true then we could see a launch this quarter, no need to wait for Windows Mobile 7 which isn’t expected until the end of the year<\/a>. How many days until Mobile World Congress<\/a> again?<\/p>\n
