MS Exchange ActiveSync coming soon to Sony Ericsson
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/6/06 in Smart Phones
In a press release earlier today, Microsoft officially announced that they have licensed the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to Sony Ericsson for use in their upcoming M600 and P990 mobile phones. Here is an excerpt from the press release:
"This solution will help provide mobile workers with anywhere access to their complete Exchange Server 2003 information, including e-mail, calendar and contacts. For organizations that have deployed Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2, additional mobile enhancements such as Direct Push are also supported, providing instant access to newly received e-mail messages. Both of the new phones will be available in the second quarter of 2006." -Microsoft
Personally I think this is great news, as it shows Microsoft is really trying to push its Exchange ActiveSync protocol to an even wider variety of mobile devices than they have been. This will allow companies to be even more flexible when purchasing mobile phones, giving more options in terms of price and features, while still keeping employees connected to their Exchange data.
