Microsoft launches Windows Mobile Training site

Confused by Windows Mobile? Don’t know your ActiveSync from your elbow? Help may be just a click (and a short sign-up process) away.

Microsoft has launched Windows Mobile Training – a free web site that offers tutorials in choosing and using Windows Mobile devices.

It’s all a bit corporate, and at heart is a promotional resource to push Windows Mobile 6, but there is a good selection of Flash tutorials on topics from using WinMo with Vodafone Live to installing third-party apps.

Also available are product demo videos, PDF documents featuring articles and howtos and resources for small businesses.

Personally, I think a community element would be even more useful. Although it may not give the desired party line on every issue, something like Ubuntu Forums would be really useful – more experienced Windows Mobile users offering advice to newbies.

You will need a Windows Live ID to log in – this can be created for free directly from the front page.
