Zune services to be split up and renamed on May 24th?

Twitter user, MS_Nerd, has leaked some juicy information regarding Zune for the May 24th event. According to him, Zune services will be split up into Xbox mobile, Xbox Live and Xbox Live Zune. So in other words, this is it for Zune. They are re-branding a somewhat unpopular brand which, in my opinion, isn't such a bad strategy at all. Oh, also - it is consistent with what we reported some time back.

Another leaked info from the MS_Nerd rumor mill suggests that  Zune backend platform will become a "Nokia services on Azure" offering, with content from Netflix, Last.fm & Hulu among others.

Nokia services on Azure? I think we need to dig deeper or just wait till tomorrow when all of this shall be revealed. Until then, we'll keep a close eye on rumors like these. What do you think of the strategy - drop in your thoughts.

For all the Mango related news, don't forget to read this. Stay tuned, we'll bring you loads of information from the Mango unveiling event which will be held on May 24th.
