Microsoft loves to confuse the hell out of mobile enthusiasts with their multitude of mobile services. If it isn't Windows Live, it's Live Search, or it could be non-application Live Search web search. Windows Live is the brand name under which Microsoft is developing its web services and application. A unified "Live" web service platform would be nice, but that's just a bit beyond Redmond at this point.
The Windows Live application for all Windows Mobile devices is now available and should make your smartphone play nice with push email, contacts synchronization, Windows Live Hotmail, Live Spaces, and Live Search. With Live Search for Windows Mobile also gives the Windows Mobile user access to weather, gas prices, directions, traffic and GPS integration. Windows Live Search for Windows Mobile also lets you put a Live Search box on your Today Screen, so that's a definite plus.
Head on over to the Microsoft download site with your mobile browser (whichever you might be using) and grab Microsoft Windows Live for yourself.
We know, this whole "Live" business with Windows Mobile is all too confusing to deal with. Don't bother trying to figure out with Microsoft is doing and just go download Windows Live.
