http://connect.microsoft.com/

"Have you purchased a new Smartphone recently? Do you have the latest Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0 installed on your Smartphone? Are you interested in learning about, and testing, the next generation Pocket MSN® version on your Smartphone? If you answered yes to the above questions, we have an exciting opportunity for you to be part of the upcoming beta program for Windows Live™ for your mobile device."



So reads an email a few of us got. We weren't sure if you had to be invited first to get in on this. We still aren't but what the heck. Try it. The one that has our attention is "Mobile 10.7 Beta". First you need to sign up here. Select available connections and then apply for the "Mobile 10.7 Beta". You need to have a passport account set up to do this. If you try it let us know how it worked out.

Signed up. It should be interesting. I really don't use hotmail, and rarely use MSN Messenger... but what the heck, it's a beta. Wink Always like to try out new stuff on my unlimited data plan. Very Happy

I'm in, but it doesn't look like there's anything to download yet. Here's a screenshot from the main page though. I'm not impressed, as this QVGA screenshot looks like the pixels are stretched. Do I have a bug report before even testing it? Laughing

FYI: I am in. I am sure others are to, log back into connect.microsoft.com.

But on the flip side, there is no download yet.

But on the other flip side, the test scenario documents presents an interesting peek into the future. I like it.

BTW, did I ever mention that I hate Pocket MSN. So I am glad that the application is getting a major facelift and a new name. Smile
