Microsoft 'Pink' phones, Turtle and Pure, leaked in pictures
Not satisfied with just leaking Microsoft’s under-wraps Courier tablet, Gizmodo went and leaked photos of alleged Microsoft “Pink” project phones, named Turtle and Pure.
A post published just moments ago reveals that the curiously named and shaped phones will be manufactured by Sharp, which will co-brand the devices with Microsoft.
Sharp originally produced the Sidekick hardware for Danger, which was bought by Microsoft two years ago. It seems this project, and these devices, are aimed at the same market.
So what will run the device? Our own Mary Jo Foley reported earlier that Pink phones will include Zune services and have their own app store.
No word on availability or price, naturally.
