Windows Phone Thoughts - Daily News, Views, Rants and Raves

"Up to this point, we’ve primarily focused on helping users effortlessly bring their mobile phone and content it captures up to the web. But that is only part of the vision and experience we want to provide for users, and today we're excited to be releasing a new version of our mobile software to help people more seamlessly integrate their mobile and web worlds. Available on http://m.dashwire.com for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6, below is a preview of the new features:

• Graphical phone experience featuring user avatar, status updates, and media gallery
• Mobile access to photos & videos located on your Dashwire web account – even if the actual media files aren’t on your phone
• Photo uploads from your computer to your Dashwire web account, which then automatically appear on your phone
• Media editing, blogging, and sharing with friends – on the go as you’re capturing your experiences
• Direct status updates to Facebook & Twitter
• Privacy controls & media publishing"

Holy new features Batman! Dashwire is a simple way to really get more out of your Windows Mobile device, and it looks like they've decided that no longer should it be phone -> web, but also web -> phone in the current release. A beefed up Mobile client (Which I'm running on Windows Mobile 6.1 right now with no problems) and some nice new features make Dashwire easy to love. Oh, and the price is right too...FREE!

"Dashwire has come a long way since last October –feedback we’ve received from you and private beta users from 68 countries around the world has helped us improve the service. We’ve made a ton of improvements, added new features to our web and mobile phone experiences, and are now excited to be opening up our beta so that all users get immediate access to the Dashwire service. Dashwire is focused on becoming the central hub that seamlessly bridges the mobile phone and web worlds, simplifying experiences and making it easy to access and share the world captured on your phone. We have a number of new things we will be sharing at CTIA in Vegas next week that we wanted to share with you first"

Dashwire is a pretty cool service that I've been playing around with now for a few months. While I haven't been using it extensively lately, I am excited to see some of the new features they've built in - features I predict will make me more likely to use it in the future. For example Dashwire now lets you share your media to social networking sites, instant status updates, threaded SMS, andmore. Oh, and did I mention it's now an open to the public? Go ahead, check it out!
