Despite what other blogs would have you believe, BitTorrent Sync was not released for Windows Phone last week. Instead, it was a private beta that was helping develop the Windows Phone version of the app. That beta is finally over. BitTorrent just announced version 1.3 of their Sync product and with it, a new app for Windows Phone users. Let’s check out BitTorrent Sync for Windows Phone...
Chris Barnes asks us on Twitter "I'm wondering why the Live Mesh app isn't in the Marketplace. Patience, I know." Good question, Chris. Actually, ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley beat you to the punch. She was on hand this week at PDC and asked Microsoft's Ray Ozzie the same question. The answer? Well, um, sort of ... “We’re pushing the Live platform stuff to Mix. Or I shouldn’t actually say Mix,...
For our Mac-wielding friends out there, Microsoft has updated Live Mesh so that it now works with Snow Leopard (you know, that 10.6 release of the Mac OS that broke everything). For you number-crunchers out there, the Live Mesh Mac client is now at Version 0.9.4501.0 and can be downloaded from www.mesh.com. [Live Mesh blog]
A heads up for any of you Windows Mobile people also wielding Macs (we know you're out there) and using Live Mesh for some sync love. (OK, we're certainly paring the class here, but whatever.) The Live Mesh team announced Thursday that the Mac client for Live Mesh isn't compatible with Snow Leopard. With the recent Apple announcement regarding the availability of Mac OS X Snow Leopard...
It's been quite a while since we've seen an update to Microsoft's Live Mesh mobile client, but we've got one for you now (and you Mac users get some fixes, too). Here's what's on tap: The last location used in the folder synchronization dialog is now saved. Live Mesh News will displays the date and time for all news events. Improved the update experience Device status (online/offline)...

For you Hotmail users out there, Microsoft
Microsoft has pushed out an update for its Live Mesh suite, including Live Mesh for Mobile (as well as the Windows and Mac desktop clients). Nothing major to talk about, but it
Just a quick heads up. Microsoft fixed the problem with the Live Mesh mobile client overnight. You'll have to download a new build of the application, which you can get at m.mesh.com/install/wm6/LiveMesh.cab from a mobile or desktop browser. We'll have more on the mobile client and the entire Live Mesh system soon. And then we'll quit writing about it for a few days. Promise.
OK, so the launch of the Live Mesh mobile client wasn't exactly smooth. But first things first: This is beta software, and glitches are inevitable. Let's keep that in mind. Now that everything's up and running, let's take a look at Live Mesh. We'll mainly focus on the new mobile client, but we'll also take a brief look at the desktop version. A little background Live Mesh is a beta...
Remember when we covered Live Mesh for your Windows Mobile phone? The thing that bugged me was that you had to use your web browser to navigate to the site and then rummage through the folders. When you log into the Live Mesh website you see the
With all the wireless capabilities I wonder why we still mess with all these cables in order to sync to our computer. There has to be an easier way to get our info from the web to our devices. Recently Dieter detailed a great way for contacts and calendar from gmail, but what about cab files? More often then not we can simply navigate to the web site that has a .cab file we want and...
On Wednesday we brought news of Microsoft's Live Mesh cloud-based storage service, giving you 5 gigs of space for your files to come and go as you please. Today, the big M unleashed mobile-optimized access to the service, meaning you can get to your data while you're on the run. It's not the full-on Windows Mobile client we're hoping for, but it's certainly a step in the right...
