Software: Microsoft “My Phone” software

  MS logo   With the release on Windows 6.5, Microsoft has also taken the My Phone service out of beta.  The following email from Microsoft talks about some of the features of the My Phone service.

*************************************************************

Microsoft® My Phone Launches!

Dear My Phone User,

We appreciate your participation in the Microsoft My Phone beta.  Your feedback has been invaluable in improving the service. 

Today, with the launch of Windows® phones, the My Phone service is exiting beta and launching commercially.  We’ve added a number of new features to the service:

Share photos on popular social networks

With just a few clicks, you can post photos to Windows Live, Facebook, MySpace and Flickr from the My Phone online portal or directly from your phone.

Find your missing phone

My Phone can show you the last known location of your phone on a map.  To activate this feature, select "Send phone location" in your phone’s My Phone settings.  Not available in all markets.

Premium features

My Phone can help you secure a lost phone using new Premium features.  You can lock or post a message on your phone from the web.  Or, if you know the phone is gone for good, you can use My Phone to erase all your personal information so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.  For a limited time, you can try these features for free, so be sure to check them out.  Premium features are not available in all markets.

The next time you sync, you will receive a notification on your mobile phone to update the My Phone software. The content you have already synced remains available and can be managed online.

Visit http://myphone.microsoft.com (http://myphone NULL.microsoft NULL.com/) to learn more and try out our new features!

Thanks,

The My Phone Team
