A former Microsoftie from the Windows Mobile team has started up a new company called Dashwire in Seattle that may just make your life a little (or a lot) easier when it comes to managing your device, migrating settings to a new mobile and much more.

Their tag line is “Dashwire automatically mirrors the content on your phone to the web, helping you access and share your mobile experiences - no cables required.”

After checking out the video tour and the page by page tour, I’m convinced!

This site’s web interface will mirror your mobiles current mail, contacts, photos, videos, profiles, ringtones, speed dials, call history.

Hot damn, I’m signing up right now!

GOOG’s docs was also in the news recently when they slipped the Web 2.0 Docs app onto their mobile portal where their motto appears to be “you can look but no touchy”.

A British intelligence agency is seeking spy recruits via the Internet. GCHQ, the surveillance arm of British intelligence, said Thursday it hopes to attract computer-savvy young recruits by embedding job ads within video games such as Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Double Agent.

This is a month long ad campaign, their hope is that they attract people with an interest in IT, (good luck with that -andy).
