Last week saw Sal's birthday and another trip to hospital (we're still waiting for the last of Amy's test results to come back) but here's the week's highlights:

• Microsoft announced that they will be releasing a mobile Zune portal (possibly to coincide with Windows Mobile 7) and extending the reach of the Zune to Europe in 2009 but I asked is this too little too late?
   
• It was also announced that they have licensed Flash Mobile for use with Pocket IE but is that decision giving the customer what they need or is it Silverlight suicide?
   
• The HTC shift promises so much but it's short battery life in Vista and cut down SnapVue offering mean that it doesn't deliver. Paul at MoDaCo has devised as way to get full Windows Mobile 6 on the Shift meaning that you don't have to switch to Vista just to get stuff done. Find out how to liberate your Shift.
   
• Just like anything else, a social media strategy demands time and commitment so you must be realistic what you can achieve when real life gets in the way.
