Microsoft Launches "Start Doing More" Web Site
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.

Great Introduction
I think it is great, since I have to deal with the all of the Windows Mobile devices at work -- it helps me out by giving them a short introduction to the platform. 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.

The graphics on those phones look way more cool than in real windows mobile phones. I think it's kinda misleading, specially because it's meant for newcomers.

I agree Demens. If you want your software to look all sleek and fancy since newcomers will inevitably compare it to that other phone, why not make it look good in the first place?

That's cute... "Start Doing More" :?
Except Microsoft stole it from me. I've been muttering that same phrase each time Microsoft introduces a new version of WM. I guess I'll have to change mine to "Start Doing SOMETHING" :lol:

Funny they should feature the Mogul in their "Start Doing More" piece, considering barely anything works as advertised on it.

i think its nicely done, yes it might be a lil misleading but it looks pretty good.. although there should have been a lil bit more information out there.. for a whole new website & stuff its pretty basic..

It's a nice break from the last "I'm editing a Word document in an elevator full of snakes" advertising campaign.
