The information actually come from different sources confirm that two developments underway:
• A client Live Messenger
• An application Bing
This work is conducted simultaneously with those for wave 4 of Windows Live, which Microsoft also remained very quiet. The editor has indeed missed a few drops of information, and the only thing we know is that the ribbons appeared with Office 2007, will invade a little more space. The wave 4 is taking shape for next March, with no real certainty, but Microsoft could use this to launch his arrival applications for iPhone and iPod Touch.
For that, he will of course have to go through the App Store, but one can assume that Microsoft should not be too difficult to overcome the various security locks for the validation of its products. The firm appears surprisingly decided on these applications. Thus, the principal said David Raissipour recent CNet: "We are actively working over" speaking customer research Bing in preparation.
The question that arises in both cases is: what are the features of this software? It is clear that an iPhone version of Live Messenger will not contain as many features as the Windows milling. The discussion is based instant but file sharing does not work any more than the audio and video conferencing. For audio, it could still operate in Wi-Fi, but its interest is limited. It is possibly sharing photos. On the client side Bing, the voice search would be a definite plus. Indeed, the situation is largely conditioned by the attitudes of operators, some as Bouygues has promised to allow VoIP on its network next year.
To return to Microsoft, the information could happen sooner than expected, rumors of "revelations" on the Windows Live suite next to the end of the week
