Microsoft SkyBox rumored to compete with Apple MobileMe

January 19th, 2009 · Source [I4U] · No Comments

Microsoft is rumored to launch three services for Windows based mobile phones at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona. NeoWin reports that Microsoft SkyBox, SkyLine and SkyMarket are the current codenames of the cloud services for WinMo phones.

Microsoft SkyBox is offering Windows Mobile users what iPhone users can have with MobileMe plus automatic backup of their phones.

Microsoft SkyLine is supposed a service that adds features to SkyBox for small businesses like Microsoft Exchange integration.

Microsoft SkyMarket already appeared in September and is an App Store clone.

The problem with Apple’s MobileMe service is that it costs money. If Microsoft wants some adoption they rather give the new services away for free. It sure will require to get a Microsoft Live account, which is enough pain to endure.
