Hot off the presses: "At the 3GSM World Congress 2003, the MSN® network of online services announced that mobile operators can look forward to the release of Microsoft's first feature-rich mobile data service optimized for Windows® Powered Pocket PCs and Smartphones before the end of the year."
"Pocket MSN will for the first time deliver to subscribers an always-on experience that enables them to remain available to other online users and always up to date with e-mail, instant messaging (IM) and other online services without maintaining a continuous network connection to their mobile device. Subscribers also will have one-click access to MSN Hotmail® and MSN Messenger...In addition, Pocket MSN will allow subscribers to wirelessly browse online and receive other MSN services, including MSN Alerts, which include news, sports and weather updates."
This is great news! I am only now beginning to gain the benefits of true wireless connectivity, and this is sure to create an even better wireless experience. I think this kind of bundle of applications and access is critical to helping novice wireless users really "get their feet wet" in an easy, organized manner.
