Darius Wey Developer & Designer, News Editor Emeritus Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 12,959		Microsoft Launches "Start Doing More" Web Site http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...startdoingmore/ Microsoft has just launched a Flash-based (hmm, no Silverlight?), US-centric "Start Doing More" portal for Windows Mobile hardware and software. It's aimed squarely at those new to the platform, so for the mobile gurus reading this post, don't expect to learn anything new. Check it out and let us know what you think. __________________ Want the latest news, views, rants and raves? Visit our portal. Wish to contact me? Send me a private message or e-mail.

I just sent the link to our Director of Operations and some other higher-ups at our organization who have WM devices. As I said earlier; it makes for a nice introduction to the WM platform for anyone coming off of a generic phone and was not sure what the Windows Mobile is about.
