Windows Live Calendar goes mobile

WMExperts

There seems to be a lot of work going on over at Windows Live. We′ve seen ActiveSync support show up and now LiveSide.net is reporting that the Calendar is now accessible from any web-enabled mobile phone. Supported phones and browsers include: iPhone/iPod Touch with Safari 3.0+, Opera on Windows Mobile 6.1.4+, S 60/5th Gen+, Blackberry 5+, Opera, Palm, Android.

Just type in calendar.live.com into your mobile browser and you will be prompted to enter in your Windows Live ID/password.  From there you will either go directly to your calendar or you will receive an interesting message that reads, "Windows Live is designed for you, but maybe not for your browser". The message continues to say "the website works best when viewed using Internet Explorer 6 or later, Safari 4.0 or later, Firefox 3.0 or later, or Google Chrome 4.0 or later".&nbsp All of which is a little confusing seeing that these are desktop browsers.

You do have the option to disregard this message and continue with the cautionary statement that, &quotsome webpages may not work correctly.&quot In using Opera 9.7 on an AT&T Tilt2, Windows Live Calendar "mobile" crashed the browser about every other time. In using Internet Explorer, while I still received the warning message but continuing worked better.

When Windows Live Calendar "mobile" worked, it worked just as it would by accessing it through a desktop computer. I could not replicate the nicer, cleaner graphics and interface of the "mobile" version on the Tilt2. Oddly though, I was able to access the mobile version using an iPhone.

In a jam, being able to access your Windows Live Calendar via your mobile browser will but the inconsistency of appearances and performance is really disappointing.  One would think a Windows Phone would reflect the &quotimprovements&quot to the Windows Live calendar before another device would.

I just can’t help but think Microsoft could come up with a more effective, efficient and easier way of making Windows Live truly mobile.


New Windows Phone 7 'features' video looks pretty good

WMExperts

&nbsp

Microsoft is continuing their desperately needed PR push by presenting this new ‘features’ video on YouTube. While nothing really new is demonstrated per se, it is nice to see it in all of its glorious action and real life scenarios–gives you a real feel for how it will all work.

Despite some of those initial 1.0 limitations, you have to give Microsfot credit for that UI–it looks nothing like Android or the iPhone. Not an easy accomplishment if you think about how you would design a mobile OS.

Check out the video after the jump, it’s worth the 3 1/2 minutes.

The Nintendo 3DS also has some serious Wi-Fi skills too

Mobilewhack.com

500x_wmn_nintendo3dsSure, that Nintendo 3DS has some superior 3D capability, but you know what, it has some other features too?

According to my source, the wireless feature will hook up with the Internet and other 3DS consoles while it is sleeping, and talking with them “without you knowing it”. In other words, you can play Nintendogs without you even knowing about it.

So, is this going to be like the next Chumby, or a step up from that?

sony_usb_powerThis is the Portable USB Power Supply Adapter from Sony.

It has a modular design with one part serving as a charger and AC Adapter, and it also has a rechargeable Li-Ion battery and USB port.

How much juice can this device hold? Not sure? I also don’t have a price for it either.
