Windows Mobile 6 "My Phone" Beta Coming Soon

Users of Windows Mobile 6 based phones will soon have a new application to tinker around with thanks to Microsoft.

The WM6 based application, now known as "My Phone," is set to the released into the wild by Microsoft in the very near future.  One of the key features of the product and service is offline storage of photo, video, text, and calendar based data.  Additionally, users can choose to share their data with others through My Phone. 

It should be noted, however, that the My Phone application is a different animal when compared to Microsoft's "Live Mesh" product.  My Phone is designed to automatically synchronize data with the My Phone service, while Live Mesh relies on the user to transfer shared data.  My Phone has also been designed for the Windows Mobile 6 platform, whereas Live Mesh is multiplatform.

The public beta test of the My Phone application and service is expected to go live sometime in mid-February.
