Windows Phone Thoughts: Plus! Sync & Go for Pocket PC

We mentioned this a few weeks ago, but now that the Plus! Digital Media Edition is shipping, it bears mentioning again. During the promotion leading up to the launch you could pre-register and get a discount coupon. I don't know about you, but I'm still waiting for my coupon to buy the product - which is a little lame. Customers who pre-registered to buy are the ones most interested in buying the product, so they should get the coupons immediately upon launch. And it gets worse: "Payment can only be accepted from United States credit cards at this time." Tsk, tsk Microsoft - if you're going to make your first big step into electronic software distribution, you'd better make sure to include the rest of the world.



"Taking your favorite music, news, and information with you on your Pocket PC just got easier! With Plus! Sync & Go for Pocket PC, you can synchronize content quickly and easily between your desktop computer and Pocket PC. Sync & Go lets you choose the content you want to download, including Web content from Internet content providers and music and video files from Windows Media Player Media Library.
