So here is the name that Microsoft give the release candidate of the Windows Home Server add in and Windows Phone 7 app… “Windows Home Server 2011 Windows Phone 7 Connector”. Man that is a mouth full, wish it was a little simpler. Well at least the app as it appears in the phone is [...]

I first met Monsoon Multimedia at CES 2011 and talked with them a little bit about their up and coming products. I remember getting excited about what they were telling me but also had that bit of reserve thinking, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” First of all, I like it when a company [...]
