Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

I'm getting the itch for a new phone? Why? Cause the Treo 650 Exchange Sync story is pissing me off. VersaMail is a big unstable application. It crashes all the time for me now. Not having Contacts and Tasks sync over the air is getting to be a PITA. And now that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and there is a future Treo 700 running Windows Mobile 5 with all its over the air on demand sync goodness I'm getting antsy.
The way I see it there are 3 likley possibilities to replace my 650.
My thoughts are Cingular will never cary this many WM Devices, and that #1 and #2 are most likley to happen in the next 6 months and thatn #3 may not happen till late 2006.
