I've read that Kumo is something else related to search, perhaps a new brand name for Live or a code name for new features. I can't imagine "Kumo" would be a better brand name than "Live".

Microsoft needs to align their online strategy.. You have Live Search, Live Products, Live e-mail, Hotmail, blah blah blah... But let's not get off topic here... lol

If you follow Windows Live, that is exactly what they are going for. They want Live to be the one-stop shop for email, photos, homepage, etc. the way Google has been doing for a lot of folks so far.

here's a part of the article about this guy talking about Kumo maybe a super secret OS from microsoft.

Another pundit has dared to dream even bigger. Over at our sister site, Microsoft-Watch, Joe Wilcox says he thinks Kumo could represent a new super-secret mobile operating system aimed at enabling Windows Mobile to better compete with Android and the iPhone. Such an OS would integrate with the Zune content and Skywalk application delivery services, offer a browser that's actually usable, and avoid time-to-market problems miring down Microsoft's other mobile efforts. Wilcox writes, "The time has come. It's inevitable: Either Microsoft has a secret phone project, or it's mobile strategy is collapsed."

I say, M$ keeps making WM function as a mini PC and Bcoz of that, We expect so much from WM devices which it cannot meet bcoz the hardware is just not sufficient enough. Just make WM phone function as a handheld and focus on that. MAke the phone part better, multimedia, handheld games, 3d engine and video accelerators. Just make it a mini laptop if the hardware is powerful enough. Bcoz of this problems, people just go and get the other phones. anyways, if we need a heavy computing, we have a laptop to use.

These Tegra phones really need to come to Sprint, it's already got the fastest mobile broadband, which is gonna get even faster as they pump it to the first 4G network in 2010, under their whole big project with Clearwire, Comcast and TimeWarner. Sprint would be such fools not to go for this, it'd be the perfect device to showcase their internet speeds and also display massive hardware and software superiority to the iphone.

This would be the device to show that Windows mobile never was the problem, the crappy hardware it was put on was, and this phone has the perfect hardware to truly run WM flawlessly.

Screw the TP, the only way I'll get it is if my mogul dies before I can get a Tegra, otherwise, I'm holdin out as long as possible till I can get this amazing device! My contracts been out for a couple years, so I can just switch if the Tegra goes to someone else instead (God forbid though, really).

Okay, like many of you, I'm freakin sick of my mogul, it seems to be dying, it's slower than glacial movement, but all these issues with the diamond and TP are just scaring me, I'm not going to bother upgrading to either of them, no, I'm sticking with my mogul till the Tegra phones to come out.

Anyone hear anything new since the last brief article from Nov. 24th?

I don't know that I'm sick of my Mogul but I'd like something more up to date as much as anyone else. I'm also waiting to see if they put something out with this chipset before I upgrade to anything. My Mogul does everything I need and it's not particularly slow but the hardware looks dated next to the iPhone and the new HTCs. I hope that whoever puts it out and whatever version of WM it runs, they get a decent infrastructure in place to distribute apps. That is gonna be one of the things that they have to catch up on what with the iPhone app store and the Android marketplace already in place. I have no problem installing cabs but if we're talking about mass adoption there is a lot of catching up to do.
