“Microsoft is planning to unveil three new mobile services at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next month. The software giant is aiming to move your mobile data into the cloud and rival Apple’s MobileMe service,” Tom Warren reports for Neowin.

“According to sources close to Microsoft, the company has been working on products codenamed SkyBox, SkyLine and SkyMarket,” Warren reports. “The final offerings are likely to be named under the Windows Live branding.”

• SkyBox is a service for users to sync a phone’s information with the web… similar to Apple’s MobileMe

• SkyLine is like “SkyBox,” but aimed at small businesses instead

• SkyMarket is the codename for Microsoft’s mobile marketplace for Windows Mobile devices… similar to Apple’s App Store

Warren reports, “Microsoft is also expected to unveil Windows Mobile 6.5 at the MWC.”
