While I’m sure Palm Inc. has grown tired of such puns, they work all too well when describing the capabilities of their ever expanding repertoire of devices and software. With the release of the latest Palm webOS, support for Activesync push email for Exchange based email accounts is now as integrated as this article’s title pun is to the Palm brand.

The IBM Simon first shown in 1992 was the world’s first smartphone. It had all the basics like smartphones have today including a calendar, contacts, clock, and notepad and most important to every person on the go, email. But the smartphone actually didn’t reach large public sales till the 1996 release of the Nokia Communicator line of phones. Seen as a take-with-you-anywhere device within the enterprise segment, this communications tool did not become popular until the larger expansion of Microsoft Exchange and Activesync products.

Shots of Android 2.0 Eclair were leaked and we loved it! The bad news is that the due date of Eclair is not yet set but, with so much good news, I had to list it for you below. I took all the pictures from BGR, thanks for the pics!

I was finally able to get my hands on a Palm Prē, and overall I’m pretty impressed. The screen is beautiful, the device fits nicely in the hand, and despite looking tiny, the keyboard is relatively easy to get used to with good tactile feedback.
One of the nicest features is application switching, which you don’t have in devices like the iPhone 3G/3Gs. And moving back and forth within an application is easy with the gesture area. I can imagine this smartphone taking off as a popular handbag accessory. It even has a mirrored surface on the back, although I don’t think it was really intended for that purpose. 
Unfortunately the Palm Pre doesn’t support AutoDiscover or EWS like the recently released HTC Andriod devices. It’s a shame because it makes setup a breeze. The Palm Pre will attempt to auto-configure your email account by trying to look up your mail server and authenticating you. It should work for most standard POP3/IMAP4 accounts but may not work for your Microsoft Exchange account.
But despite not supporting AutoDiscover, setting up your mail2web Mobile Email or myhosting.com Hosted Exchange Email is still easy to do. Read the rest of this entry »

Google announced last Tuesday evening that Gmail was offline approximately for two hours due to a miscalculation in a routine act of maintenance. Roughly 100 minutes of down time made people crazy. Watching the twitter stream of panic and rage caught in 140 character snapshots demonstrated how important is Gmail for many people.
Google’s VP of engineering and site reliability Czar, in a post to the Gmail blog, said, “I’d like to apologize to all of you — today’s outage was a Big Deal, and we’re treating it as such. We’ve already thoroughly investigated what happened, and we’re currently compiling a list of things we intend to fix or improve as a result of the investigation.” However, the company “underestimated the load which some recent changes placed on the request routers.” He wrote, “I’d like to apologize to all of you — today’s outage was a Big Deal, and we’re treating it as such.”
Not to toot our own horn, but during that time period mail2web.com never let you down! We know how important your emails are for you and mail2web Mobile Email didn’t experience any outages, and full email, contact and calendar synchronization for smartphones continued as normal!

With today’s launch of Snow Leopard, the updated version of Mac OS X, Apple has included a number of improvements, including the highly touted out-of-the-box Exchange support. This includes Exchange support within it’s native applications, including Mail, Address Book and iCal.
Previous versions of Mail have included support for Microsoft Exchange, allowing you to connect to your mail2web Mobile Email Pro account or myhosting.com Hosted Exchange Email using WebDAV integration. This release provides improved Exchange support within Mail by using Exchange Web Services (EWS) integration. This allows for full Email, Notes and Task support within Mail, Contact List and Global Address List support within Address Book, and and Calendar synchronization within iCal.
This raises the bar for Mac OS X, matching a number of the improvements recently released with the Entourage Web Services Edition upgrade and taking it one step further. This now gives Hosted Exchange users a choice to use the tools they are most familiar, be it the built in Mac applications, or the Microsoft Office suite which includes Entourage.

The Palm Pre was released in June by Sprint, but its launch guide was leaked long before. It’s a 23 page booklet prepared for Sprint sales personnel, and includes launch accessories and their prices, service plan options, FAQs and Palm Pre functionality. Palm Pre is the first touch screen phone by Palm. Its new WebOS and Synergy data integration system are making this smart-phone one of the future devices for the next decade. It wins approval and achieved the Best of CES 2009 and the People’s Voice Award. Palm Pre rivals the iPhone in many ways including Web browser and multimedia capabilities.
However, there is an ongoing discussion about the Palm Pre; Does it really support multipe Microsoft Exchange accounts using ActiveSync, or is it just a rumor or urban myth? Here is how this rumor all got started: Check out the 19th page of the User guide. If you are interested, you can read the manual by clicking here.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2009. This latest mobile platform from Microsoft has an ambitious, finger-friendly honeycomb-style main menu, fingerable home and contact screens, and more. It will be easier to use it than the traditional grid layout. People still think that Windows Mobile is actually a Palm, which is trying to look like a phone. They are arguing that Microsoft needs to throw everything they already have out the door and start from scratch just like Palm did with their Web OS.
I gathered some screen shots from different sources. You can have a look and get an idea about the new touch-friendly Windows Mobile 6.5. Decide for yourself!
