Lookey Lookey at what we got here? hmmm..

What’s that sound? Hundreds of thousands of BlackBerrys being smashed on the floor? Well, maybe. Rumors were true, friends! Apple has indeed licensed ActiveSync. El Jobso and company have chosen a bombshell indeed to get the SDK event started. We’re talking full business services support here peoples:

• Push Email
• Push Contacts
• Push Calendar
• Global Address List
• Cisco VPN
• Remote Wipe Eaggd
• Device Config
• Certificates and WPA2 / 802.11x

Looks like the iPhone isn’t just for breakfast anymore…

True true, but you have to wait till June..... too bad blackberry already has all of this [I am a Former iPhone User]

not that i would switch to iphone... but apparently bb cant even give us an html email??? look at where the technology is at with the iphone compare to a bb... my 2 cents

I believe you still have to use M$ ActiveSync in order to sync with outlook, so no wireless sync just desktop. If Apple ever makes a BES equivalent then I'll sell my stock.

Interesting. Too bad ActiveSync is so horribly quirky and unreliable.

So what's the point of integration if you can't get email etc. wirelessly???

Treo's etc. can, so I'd bet the iPhone will as well...

Sounds like fun times ahead. Glad there's only one user (so far) with one here who'll probably want to get email on it.

i still stay BB>iPhone...period...

I`m getting one tomorrow, I just love it and can`t drop my BB 832o either.

Active Sync is wireless. If you bothered to watch the video of the SDK presentation you would have seen a live demo of wireless push email, calendar and Outlook GAL via active sync on the iPhone...

The way I see it, competition will only make RIM devices that much better.

Plus, my Pearl is rock solid. My friends can't say the same for their iPhones...
