Microsoft appears to have leaked and then pulled a Web site describing a service that would let Windows Mobile users back up and access information stored in the cloud.
The site, getskybox.com, is no longer loading. But an item on Engadget and many subsequent reports online said that the service would let people back up and restore phone information on a password-protected site. It would also let users access their contact lists and calendars and share photos through a Web account.
Even though the Web address uses the Skybox name, the page called the service My Phone.
