It maybe a few years to late but on the Windows Mobile blog the team are asking how Windows Mobile and Zune can work together. It's great that they are asking but I can't help thinking that this is something that should have been done before the iPhone came out. Maybe it could be good to ditch the Mobile Device center in Vista and use the Zune software to connect a Windows Mobile device to Vista

What are some ways the Zune player and a Windows Mobile device can work better together? I'm not referring to an imaginary "Zune phone", and I'm certainly not hinting or speculating about a converged device.

Instead, I'm wondering if there are any opportunities for us to improve the experience for people who use both devices (a Zune and a Windows Mobile phone). For example, viewing your Zune Social network in IEMobile, converting a Zune playlist into .WMA ringtones, converting Zune's artwork to Windows Mobile themes, showing your Windows Mobile contacts as pictures in Zune etc.

If you can think of similar interesting or compelling scenarios, we'd love to hear them.
