Windows Live - What Does it Mean for Your Mobile Device?
"Microsoft Corp. today previewed two new Internet-based software services � Windows Live� and Microsoft� Office Live � designed to deliver rich and seamless experiences to individuals and small businesses. The new offerings combine the power of software plus services and are compelling enhancements to the Microsoft Windows� and Microsoft Office products. In particular, Windows Live helps bring together all the elements of an individual�s digital world while Office Live helps small companies do business online."
Boring old marketing talk. Blah, Blah Blah. Let's get to the real questions; What is Live? And, why are we talking about it here? First, Live is a collection of services offered via the internet and designed to bring together all of your interests in one location. Basically, a modern day portal that offers highly modifiable content, all done using AJAX. If you've played with Start.com, then you are familiar with the basis of Windows Live. And Second, why do we care? Windows Live is not just for your browser. It is also designed to sync seamlessly and in real-time with your Windows Mobile 5 device. Keeping the contacts in your Windows Live account and the new Live Messenger nicely integrated and always up to date. Changing the contact information on a buddy in Messenger and it will automatically be updated on your device. By the way, all this was demonstrated using a new Cingular Smartphone that might just look like this.
