New Pogoplug 'Cloud' Gets Social Sony Ericsson Closes Sites, HQ Moves Office 2010 Integrates with the Web Court To Hear AT&T, Verizon Ad Fight Microsoft Releases Multiple Betas IE9 Likely To Access PC Hardware Cloud Engines has released its newest version of the Pogoplug, a small "multimedia sharing device" that connects hard drives to the Internet and allows a user to access the files remotely. Cell phone handset maker Sony Ericsson will move its North American headquarters from North Carolina to Atlanta and close a half-dozen sites worldwide as it retrenches against a tighter market. With the public beta of Office 2010, Microsoft offers integration with web-based, lightweight versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint; a mobile version; and social-networking in Outlook. A federal court will consider the fate of a Verizon ad campaign that features side-by-side wireless coverage maps showing it has five times more 3G coverage than AT&T, which calls the ads misleading. Microsoft has released the beta version of Office 2010, along with betas of the 2010 versions of SharePoint Server, Visio, Project and Office Web Apps. Office Mobile 2010 is also in beta. Microsoft told its Professional Developers Conference that it's already working on the next version of Internet Explorer and intends to make more PC hardware capabilities available to web developers.
