Live Mesh is in early days yet, but having had it installed for a while, I am starting to see the possibilities

The mobile web client is now available (though the full mobile client is still "coming soon") at http://m.mesh.com and using this to upload an image and then see it appear almost instantly on your other devices is compelling.

The real power of Mesh will come with the api - then we can start to really create apps that live on and offline easily.  I am eagerly anticipating when that will be available (my guess: the PDC).  In particular I am hoping that we can plug into the framework and process files during sync - resizing images on upload for example, and then downloading the full version from another desktop on request.

For now, I am happily syncing music between devices, playing them online using the Live Desktop Silverlight Media Player, and downloading any tracks I want on demand on my mobile device ;-)
