Title: Azure Mobile (free mobile cloud service hosting)
Post by: thesaintv12 on August 30, 2012, 07:30:39 PM
I have spent a few days looking at different ways to connect the new mobile apps I am working on to a webservice I want to build without spending out too much.  During that search Azure mobile was released. 

In short, you can create up to 10 cloud services for free** which should be more than enough for me to find out if my ideas are going to workout.

Here is a video overview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovDtALgsBuQ

They seen to be offering the '10 free' offer for site hosting too which may be of interest to some.

I am going to be having a play over the next week or so, so I'll report back on how it goes. 

** - Edit: I think the 10 free is for a trial period only.  I'll check it out and update.
