Have they added the multiple sign on feature yet?

Edit: Nope. Just tried it.

The download available at wl.windowsmobile.com says that it is for non-touch phones only. Went to microsoft.com/downloads (suggested by the blog), but new version is not there.

Thanks for that headsup on only for non touchscreen phones I guess we will just have to wait for further announcement as to touchscreen devices. Yikes!

If anyone has it running, which 3rd party social nets are they including?

Still no OTA calendar sync. You would think that when google has contacts, calendar, and gmail syncing over exchange server, MS would get their act together. If I didn't have so much tied to Windows Live, I would have jumped ship already.
