This is why I believe Microsoft bought out Danger. What you've described is pretty much how the T-Mobile Sidekick/Danger Hiptop is. Applications are submitted to the carrier for approval and the made available to the end user. I think a variation of the Sidekick would be ideal for use as a Zune phone.
