Microsoft’s ‘Life Without Walls’ campaign now includes Windows Mobile online ads

November 27, 2008 | By Surur

Many of us may have missed this (likely due to good ad blockers), but Microsoft has stepped up their Windows Mobile advertising spend, in particular co-promoting outstanding Windows Mobile devices like the HTC Touch HD.

While the adverts look relatively crude in appearance, seeing some money spent on Windows Mobile by Microsoft is always positive, especially in the face of the flood of negativity it currently faces from the online community. They are part of Microsoft’s campaign to raise awareness of its own ecosystem, consisting of Windows Vista, Windows Live and Windows Mobile. Microsoft has been making efforts to tie these previously disparate entities together, as can be seen by their Live Mesh efforts. Apparently a further push can be expected early next year independent of WM 6.5′s release, so it looks like things will be getting more interesting very soon.

Why do people keep advertising Paloma?? Oh and what do you think about what I said about Winmo 6.5?

@Wreiad- your theory is interesting, but I really do not believe MS planned WM 6.5 when they were designing WM7. It could be WM standard vs WM professional instead.

Hmmm… I guess. They both look so different though… I really think they’re different. The visual gap between versions hasn’t been so strong before. Winmo 6.1 standard for example, doesn’t look so different from Winmo 6.1 professional. What I believe to be version 6.5 still bears a resemblance to 6.1, while version 7 looks like Windows 7. Guess we’ll know for sure when Motorola launches it’s handset

Speaking of ads, have you seen this?

The girls have a video playing in “Pictures & videos”. Another 6.5 goodie? I’ve never seen version 6.1 do that. The video looks high quality, so I doubt it’s a gif file.

Everything else is standard, so I doubt it.
