Windows Live mobile app updated, portal revamped for phones

Microsoft today released a new version of its free Windows Live app for Windows Mobile devices. The application, which was first debuted almost exactly one year ago, now includes Windows Live Messenger in addition to the push Hotmail syncing, Contact syncing, and Spaces upload support it previously offered. The software is available in both touch-based, and non touch-based formats.

Separately, all non-Windows Mobile devices will enjoy the upgrade to the Windows Live Mobile portal. The mobile page has been upgraded with a brushed-up UI and has received support for full HTML in Hotmail, a feature that Google's Gmail's mobile client does not yet offer.
