Microsoft is getting ready to provide a service similar to Google Sync, called My Phone. This service will allow users to synchronize data from their mobile devices to a password-protected site.

So far, it sounds like Google Sync (covered in a previous post). However, unlike Google Sync, Microsoft My Phone will allow users to synchronize not only contacts and calendar events, but also tasks, photos, videos, text messages, music, and documents. In addition, My Phone users will also be able to share their photos and videos with friends or save them into their computers.

Sounds good, right? Yes, if you have a Windows Mobile 6 device; so far, My Phone is set to only work on devices with Windows Mobile 6 installed, leaving behind iPhone and devices with other operating systems.
