You can also add files like .cab and .exe on your desktop and have them instantly sync to your phone over the air without activesync.

I have it set to back up my internal 4GB storage on my phone at all times.

Cool!

Mods, please move this to the Pocket PC Software thread.



Live Mesh should be combined with the Live Mail's Skydrive storage application ... maybe even integrate Office Live Workspace for business users who'd like to share documents with other Live users. What a pain in the a** it would be to only be able to sync 5GB of your data on Live Mesh and then only be able to upload files capped at 50MB on SkyDrive and then have to use Office Live Workspace to share documents. Hopefully, time will allow Office Workspace (document storage/sharing) and Live Mesh's major feature (multiple platforms synchronization >>> PC/Live Desktop/Mobile) to be absorbed into the SkyDrive feature. I realize few mobile users have the 25GB of storage to actually validate being able to sync that amount to a mobile storage card, but as mobile handsets grow more capable of handling higher bandwidth amounts and more advanced applications, dependency on PC/laptops will yield to mobile devices such as WinMo devices. M$ needs to streamline all of the Live applications, though. There are too many to keep up with. What are your thoughts?
