CTIA Keynote Preview

On April 2…. yes April 2nd ,Robert Bach will take to the stage and make the day 2 keynote at CTIA’s 2009 trade show.

He is president of the Entertainment & Devices, a group that includes Zune & Windows Mobile. You can expect the usual dog & pony show for Windows Mobile 6.5 and its upcoming app store.

According to sources  close to MS, You can expect at least one surprise announcement related to Windows Live wave 4. Which is due this fall

The announcement may be the long rumored Windows Live-Facebook integration. Which would allow users to link both networks together and view Facebook’s updates on www.home.live.com.

It would seem Microsoft is very intent on making Windows Live a one stop social gateway. With the ability to  view Tweets from Twitter & now with the addition of Facebook updates, You have a very well rounded social experience. 

Keep a close eye on the keynote.. you’ll be glad you did.

    Why would Robbie Bach who is with Entertainment & Devices division make any kind of Windows Live announcement? I agree with Jamie, this is something that probably would be announced at web2expo. And yes, Microsoft & Facebook are there. Microsoft is one of the keynote speakers today, April 1st.
