Microsoft is apparently getting ready to drop its trousers and unveil its assets at the Mobile World Congress event at Barcelona next month.

Three mobile services which are designed to compete against Skybox and Mobile Me will be unveiled under the mobile version of Windows Live Mesh services. The three products are dubbed SkyBox, SkyMarket and SkyLine. Skybox is a syncing service based on cloud, SkyMarket is an App Store, and SkyLine the business version of the whole thing.

Skybox appears to be based on the Azure platform which was announced back in October 2008. The SkyBox service will also be available for non-Windows Mobile OS based phones.

Microsoft is also expected to unveil Windows Mobile 6.5 with the new UI at the Mobile World Congress.
