Microsoft is planning a range of new online services aimed at the world's growing population of mobile device users, according the company and published reports.

Microsoft last week set up a Web site that teases a new service called My Phone, which, according to the site, "syncs information between your mobile phone and the Web." My Phone will also let smartphone users back up and restore information to a password-protected Web site, access and update contacts and appointments through an online account, and share photos with family and friends.
