Yesterday I blogged about an Office Mobile upgrade and then had to remove the posting.
This was because in the final preparation our Product team posted an internal site that was not intended for public consumption and it was then immediately removed.
A number of bloggers and Windows Mobile sites picked up on the post our web team made.
I’ve had a number of questions relating to what happened to the link and when the upgrade will be available.
Microsoft will put out upgrades for Office Mobile to support the new Office 2007 file formats in the near future.
In the next few weeks you will see more information pertaining to the availability of this upgrade.

I had a customer yesterday ask how they could change the device names of Windows Mobile 6 devices to align with their PC/Laptop naming conventions.
On a Windows Mobile 6 Professional device you can change the device name in Start..Settings..About and then select the Device ID Tab.
On a WM6 Standard (Smartphone device) using Vista you can name a device on the 1st pairing to the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). You cannot rename it afterwards from WMDC, but you can do this in Explorer if it is paired to WMDC. Just browse to My Computer, right click on the device (or select and press Enter) select properties and you can rename; if you disconnect and then reconnect the new name is reflected in WMDC as well. There does not seem to be a way to do this on the phone itself, but if I remember correctly you could never do this on SmartPhone, only on PocketPC…
