- Phone Data Manager Beta works with non-Windows Mobile devices. There's a fairly lengthy list of supported devices including a number of Sony ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola devices.
- The new utility syncs your data with Windows Live Services. That means your contacts, music, videos, and photos will be accessible online from any computer with a web browser.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Maybe we can get my MotoQ9M to actually work with existing ActiveSync before they release betas.
Plug in phone = Activesync cannot connect to the windows mobile device.
Tried all the uncheck advanced network settings.
No support anywhere.
TOTAL CRAP!

It amazes me it has taken Microsoft this long to make something like this. They even have a whole business section around cellphones...

I just tried it and I must say that I'm actually happy and surprised with it. I don't have much good impressions from Microsoft software in general...
