Live.com Beta for Mobile is available now!
I’m a ‘real-time junkie.’ I use Live.com (blog) on my PC to keep track of the news, blogs, and gadget data (like weather) that I care about – but that only keeps me informed when I’m at my computer, where I usually don’t have a lot of down time.
As of today, I can get the same news and blogs I read on Live.com on my mobile device with the new Live.com Beta for mobile. I can even view mobile versions of a few of my gadgets (weather, stocks, and horoscope)! Not only can I now get my real-time fix wherever I am, I am able to do it by taking advantage of my down time – on a bus, in a waiting room, at my flight’s departure gate…anywhere!
When I’m deciding whether to grab a jacket or some sunscreen, I can check the weather on my mobile device – no need to boot up my laptop, find where the dog hid my newspaper, or flip through the TV channels looking for the local weather update.
Live.com Beta for mobile also keeps me connected with easy access to the other Windows Live services available on my mobile. One click lands me in my Windows Live Mail inbox, or I can jump right to my friend’s updated Windows Live Spaces blogs (just by following the icons below the search bar).
When I’m reading my news and blogs, Live.com Beta for mobile gives me the ability to read not just the content provided in a news feed – I can also follow the entries title link to browse a mobile-friendly version of the entry linked page. Images are made smaller for my mobile device’s small screen, and articles are broken up into smartly sized portions my device can handle.
In addition to all this information at my fingertips, I can search the web, local results, map results, Windows Live Spaces, and news (to name a ‘few’) right from the search box at the top of my page – and browse my results (from directions to web pages) as mobile-friendly pages.
This all just scratches the surface of what Live.com Beta for Mobile has given me wherever and whenever I want – discover more for yourself here:
First: Sign in at Live.com on your PC and set up all the things you care about.
Then: Sign in at Live.com Beta for mobile (http://mobile.live.com, follow the “Live.com beta” link) to see your personal news, blogs, and gadgets on the go!
