For the SkyBox 1.0, the beta version will be available in mid-February. It will be free and provide backup / restore service for users’ windows mobile devices. The next version 1.5 will add a subscription based SkyBox premium service, which might also available for non-Windows Mobile smartphones.

The SkyBox 2.0 will eventually offer more online integration between your mobile devices and web management.
