And WinMo is a good mobile phone OS. Pros, cons, overall it is good, otherwise it wouldn't do well in the free market, would it?

Apple doesn't have a phone OS, they have an OS with a phone app. It also has pros and cons. So shut it.]]>Feb 15th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/microsoft-my-phone-beta-now-accepting-applicants/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/microsoft-my-phone-beta-now-accepting-applicants/

This seems to bypass the problems with the "system maintenance" message. You will get this: "You have been added to the wait list. We will notify you as space becomes available. Thank you for your patience."

Hotmail works perfectly fine, and Live ID becomes really useful when wanting to integrate with the Zune Software (I don't own a Zune, but the software is great, and not bloated), Xbox Live, and Office Online, which will challenge the great google docs you speak of in the upcoming year.

Unification and a true "Passport" to multiple services across multiple devices is great.

Good Talk.

I'm wondering if I'll even have a use for this, but I'll wait until I can actually use it and see WHAT it is before I judge it.
