Windows Live for Mobile gets a big update
Microsoft is really coming through with the upgrades this week. First with Live Mesh Mobile (OK, less of an upgrade and more “come and get it”), and now with Windows Live for mobile [via], which is hot on the heels of an overhaul to the entire Windows Live ecosystem.
We took a good look at Windows Live back in the summer after another update. At this time, it was pretty much just e-mail and search. Now comes the really good stuff.
From the Windows Live blog:
The new and updated mobile web services include Windows Live Home, Photos, Profile, People, and Spaces. These complement our existing mobile services, like Hotmail and Messenger. … With this release, we are extending even more of Windows Live to mobile devices, but with a mobile twist.
This goes a long way toward consolidating all of Microsoft’s services under one roof, which is problem we’ve written about at length and one Dieter and Mal have tackled in in numerous podcasts, most recently in No. 35.
It’s all there. The next step is to get people to really start using it. Head on over to mobile.live.com to take a look.
