Live Mesh : The potential of Live Mesh is limitless…

I’ve been using Microsoft’s Live Mesh for over 2 months now and I love it.  I have three PCs I use to work on.  My home desktop, my Toshiba M700 tablet PC, and my small and light Fujitsu P1610.  Previously to sync all my documents I used an SD card and Synctoy.

This meant remembering to run Synctoy and I was always paranoid of syncing an older file.  Live mesh means my documents are all kept in Sync ‘in the cloud’, my devices are always up to date without having to remember which machine has the  SD card.

Another great bonus is I can access documents from any Web Browser, and yes, that means document access from the iPhone and Windows Mobile.  Access to all your docs from anywhere, all backed up online.  Lovely!

Very excited watching Live Mesh develop further.

GottaBeMobile - Apple and AT&T Need To Come Clean on 3G Issues : Tablet PC & Mobile PC News & Video Reviews, and Tablet PC Forums

My response:
Have you got your iPhone 3G yet Warner? If so, given the reported issues will you still be getting one or holding off?

I certainly don’t regret mine, albeit I’ve held onto my N95 for certain trips/situations where I wouldn’t take the iPhone. 3G has been pretty good on it although I panicked yesterday when there was no data connection. I thought it was my upgrade to 2.01 the previous night but turns out it was the O2 data network down in Central Scotland.

Fake MSNBC news alerts push spam - The INQUIRER

I’ve been getting a load of these, fortunately filtered into my junk email.  I can see these catching out the less tech savvy.  PITA!

Payload seems to be trojan injection via visiting the links.
