Microsoft To Launch New Syncing Service – Skybox Cloud

Windows Mobile Cloud Computing

Microsoft is all geared up to launch its new syncing service in upcoming technology conferences in the near future and will challenge apple’s “mobile me” with its own “Skybox cloud”.

The mobile and smart phone market is witnessing a rapid growth and Microsoft will stay hard on the game by introducing Skybox, capitalizing on the cloud computing technologies. Skybox will enable users on the windows mobile platform to sync their emails, contacts, calendar and other data with the server. While mobileme has exposed its services to PC users too, most of the functions are fully functional only on a mac. It is quite unexpected of Microsoft to deliver Skybox in all platforms, and is almost assumed that these would work only on windows based mobiles, though Microsoft might be working on extending this to the other platforms to leverage on the other smart phone users.

Steve Ballmer is listed as one of the expected keynote speakers in this year’s Mobile world Congress and this might be an ideal platform to introduce Skybox as well as Skyline to the world. Skyline is another service, which will let small and medium businesses to manage their own Exchange servers. Meanwhile Google is also rumored to be working vigorously on cloud computing, in order to take google apps to the next level and hence both apple and Microsoft will find tough competition in Google.
