Microsoft MyPhone service coming to invite-only beta soon, website launched
Today, the new Microsoft service, "My Phone" launched it's official
website.
On My Phone's website, it gives us some information about what My Phone is really about. This service basically can backup
and restore your Windows Mobile phone to a secure website. That's not all it does though; it also can gives you a web account that lets you view and
modify calendar appointments along with contacts. Sharing photos is made easier using the online account too, by letting you take saved pictures from
your phone and downloading them to your computer and/or emailing them to your friends and family.
This service is free, and will work
with any Windows Mobile 6+ operating system. Microsoft gives you 200 MB of data in your account to use towards phone synchronizations.
Another feature of this application lets you restore all of your data to a new phone, should your old phone get lost or stolen. Simply use the same
Windows Live ID to sign in with the application, and all of your data will restore once you hit the sync button.
This has not been
released yet, and is expected to be released to select beta testers in an invite-only beta test at the Mobile World Congress.

Rumor: Microsoft & Verizon in talks to launch "Pink" mobile
We've known for quite some time now that the folks up in Redmond were working on a top-secret Windows Mobile 7 powered device, dubbed codename:
Pink. Our friend Mary Jo Foley has had an obsession for codename Pink for the last few years. Today the Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft
and Verizon are currently in talks in launching a "touch-screen multimedia cellphone on the carrier's network early next year." Microsoft's
CEO Steve Ballmer has already confirmed that Microsoft will not be producing the physical hardware for codename Pink, but the company will have the
phone branded with the Microsoft logo. The focus on codename Pink will be Zune services, Windows Mobile Marketplace, MyPhone Services, and Windows
Mobile 7.
