Official Word From Microsoft About My Phone

I received official word a couple hours ago from Microsoft about Microsoft’s My Phone blunder today. As expected, it wasn’t intended to get out there until MWC. If you missed the post, Microsoft’s My Phone hit the web on GetSkybox.com.

Today, Microsoft’s My Phone Web site went live prior to its scheduled debut. However, we are excited about the new Microsoft My Phone service, which will be available as a limited, invite-only beta. This is a significant milestone for Microsoft as it connects the phone to the PC and Web, making mobility a key pillar for the company’s software+services strategy.

This new Microsoft cloud service syncs critical information (e.g., contacts, calendar appointments, tasks, text messages, photos, video, etc) on a user’s mobile phone to  a password protected Web site.  Once synchronized, people can easily back-up and restore mobile phone data.  My Phone provides an easy to use Web portal where people can access and manage content on the phone, and share that information with others. 

My Phone helps people:

  • Keep their information backed up if they lose or break their phones.
  • Transition information if they switch to new phones.
  • Access the same information from their phone or PC.
  • Additional  information about the service can be found here:  www.windowsmobile.com/myphone

We will have more details about My Phone and the limited invite only beta at Mobile World Congress.

    It's interesting that the domain registration doesn't list Microsoft as the owner, but an individual in Bellevue, WA (near Microsoft). Even stranger, he has an E-mail address at Yahoo.

    Maybe that's Microsoft's way of trying to hide ownership until the announcement.
