Where is Windows Live for Windows Mobile Download?
I know you must be asking this question so as others in several blogs that I ran into. Well, the good news is that people who downloaded the CAB and used the client liked it and told their friends, colleagues, strangers, then wrote blog posts! … that’s just great and we are very excited about reaching new users via a download. With more people using the client we received few reports from people who ran into problems on their devices especially newer ones with faster processors. Basically the device appears to hang after installing the client. Now that’s bad news for us. This is our first time releasing the client as a direct download rather than working with manufacturers and operators as they develop their devices. Despite our best efforts to ensure smooth operation of the client on as many devices as we possibly can test, we found there were more device-specific differences affecting the downloadable version of Windows Live for Windows Mobile than we had predicted.
Since we cannot let our users run into these issues, we decided to pull off the package from the download site and investigate further.
Well, to give you a quick update: You are not going to wait much longer to get the new version of the client! Wahoo! We are in the final stage of testing and expect to be ready to make the client available for download by early July.
Thanks to all of you for your interest and feedback. We love to hear from you.
