Microsoft is expected to announce its new Cloud-based OS later this month.  This ‘Windows Cloud’ OS (or whatever it comes to be called) could mean big things for Windows Mobile, depending on how it evolves.

The mobile market is moving quickly toward Cloud-based syncing, as seen by Apple’s MobileMe and Android’s Google-dependant wireless syncing.  We hope to see Microsoft move similarly, but without the hitches and lurches of MobileMe or the Google service dependency (at least at first) of Android.

Microsoft could build a new Cloud-based ActiveSync whose connections are entirely wireless, with syncing between Live services, Windows, Outlook and Windows Mobile devices, all without USB cables. The potential of this type of technology is incredible, and will affect data syncing, software distribution, online storage, mobile control, web-based applications and more.

We’ll keep you updated on the evolution of Windows Cloud over the coming months.  An official announcement is expected later this month.
