After weeks of little more than broad hints and rampant speculation, Microsoft is preparing to show off its new Mesh initiative -- signaling that the company is poised to jump in and get its feet wet with a potentially far-ranging data synchronization technology.

Company officials plan to make an announcement regarding the strategy this week, during the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.

The concept is that all of a user's devices -- from mobile phones to game consoles ?- should link with each other and all of the user's social activities, producing a seamless framework for both personal and business access anywhere, anytime.
