Microsoft's beta My Phone service for Windows Mobile now free to all

by Thomas Ricker posted May 19th 2009 at 4:18AM

Go 'n get it! Microsoft's My Phone service is now ready for all Windows Mobile users to test. The beta service syncs any Windows Mobile 6+ phone to Microsoft's 200MB per person cloud. That includes contacts, calendars, tasks, photos, text messages, music, videos, and more. In essence, anything on the My Phone website is on the phone and vice versa. Hey free is free and this is a goodie.

Microsoft announces Windows Marketplace and My Phone for Windows Mobile

by Nilay Patel posted Feb 16th 2009 at 9:05AM

No big surprise here -- Microsoft just announced Windows Marketplace, a unified storefront for the over 20,000 Windows Mobile applications. As rumored, that means you'll be able to get apps directly from your phone, and Microsoft has also promised new and better tools for developers in the future. Also confirmed: My Phone, which will let you sync your phone to the cloud with access from the web. Sadly, we'll have to wait for all this stuff -- it's coming with Windows Mobile 6.5 which isn't due until later this year. We'll let you know more as soon as we find out, keep it locked!

Microsoft My Phone beta pre-registration now live

by Ross Miller posted Feb 15th 2009 at 9:24PM

While Microsoft's official My Phone website still lacks that hopeful "sign in" button, the beta pre-registration is actually live and accepting enlistees from a different, albeit still Microsoft-hosted, address. It took our Hotmail credentials right away, reportedly putting us on the waiting list. If for some reason you wish to stay on the somewhat more virtuous path and wait for the main page to update, don't let us stop you. However, if you're eager to sign up now, hit up the read the link and get yourself on the wait list.

Microsoft confirms MyPhone, invite-only beta coming to MWC

by Ross Miller posted Feb 7th 2009 at 4:26PM

Remember that alleged Microsoft MyPhone beta page that popped up on getskybox.com yesterday? It's back up now and being hosted under the company's official domain, with everything apparently intact except that tantalizing "Sign In" button. According to a statement from the gang at Redmond, a limited invite-only beta is in the cards, and more details on the syncing service formerly known as SkyBox are coming to Mobile World Congress later this month. As for the beta itself, the wording's a bit ambiguous here -- will we just be getting new details on the trial or will the signup actually launch then? Looks like we'll find out for sure in just over a week.

Neonode N2 launches in Europe on Vodafone, Wind

by Darren Murph posted Jul 6th 2007 at 10:26AM

Intelligently waiting until after the iPhone lived out its (first) 15 minutes of fame, Neonode has just now went and threw a launch party to celebrate the official debut of the Neonode N2. Yesterday, the firm went wild at the Babae Club in Athens, Greece as it celebrated with MyPhone (its distributor for south-eastern Europe) and announced that the handset would play nice with "operators such as Vodafone and Wind." Sadly, exact releases dates were obviously muddled through all the jumpin' and jivin' going on, but the N2 should be in "select shops in south-eastern Europe" very soon, with the rest of Europe and "other major markets" to follow suit shortly thereafter.
