When it comes to sharing pictures, the iPhone has lots of apps to handle that.  Every other phone already has MMS to send photos to friends.  Microsoft, a small start-up out of Redmond with a market cap of only $174B, is prepping its “My Phone” service.

The service, the name of which appears to be a “The Simpsons” reference, is supposed to take pictures from your Windows Mobile phone and send it to a Microsoft server.  Then you go to a Microsoft site and see the pictures.  You will even have the ability to do some photo editing on the site. 

Microsoft is offering 200MB of storage.  It is widely believed that Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that “640k ought to be enough for anybody.”  200MB seems like a ton of storage, then.  However, compared to most other services, 200MB is a paltry amount of space.

The service is still in beta, so there will probably be some changes before it is officially rolled out.
