Could this be the hardware spec for Microsoft's Pink phone?
While rumors about what is/isn't part of the next Zunes and "Pink" phones swirl, I figured I'd add a few more tidbits that I've been hoarding.
First up: A list of what may or may not be the final specs for the Windows Mobile 7 Chassis 1. Chassis 1 seems to be the the heart of the rumored "Pink" Microsoft phone and possibly other Windows Mobile 7 phones made by Microsoft partners.
(As an aside, Microsoft references the existence of a chassis spec in this April job posting for a Program Management Architect in the Entertainment and Devices division.)
Some caveats about this list: Microsoft officials won't talk publicly about Pink or Windows Mobile 7 (and only selectively about Windows Mobile 6.5) at this point. This information also is at least a few months old and may have changed a bit.
But this is what I've got from a trustworthy source who requested anonymity:
