Will appear at Mobile World
Congress
Software giant Microsoft is apparently getting ready to drop its
trousers and unveil its assets at the Mobile World Congress event at Barcelona
next month.
Three mobile services which are designed to compete against
Skybox and Mobile Me will be unveiled under the mobile version of Windows Live
Mesh services. The three products are dubbed SkyBox, SkyMarket and SkyLine.
Skybox is a syncing service based on cloud, SkyMarket is an App Store, and
SkyLine the business version of the whole thing.
Skybox appears to be based
on the Azure platform which was announced back in October 2008. The SkyBox
service will also be available for non-Windows Mobile OS based phones.
Microsoft is also expected to unveil Windows Mobile 6.5 with the new UI at
the Mobile World Congress.
