Magneto vs BlackBerry: Fight!
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 02:00 AM
"The next move in Microsoft's bid to control mobile email - as a basis for broader middleware presence - will come with the forthcoming upgrade to the Windows Mobile operating system. Codenamed Magneto, one of its most significant functions will be a push email application designed to rival the widely installed BlackBerry server software. . . .The software giant is to freeze the Windows Mobile 2005 code this month and provide new technology in Exchange 2003 Server Pack 2 that will push email out to mobile workers, say sources. The new generation of devices would then be ready for the autumn. . . . Beyond that, Microsoft is at work on a more feature-rich upgrade of Windows Mobile, codenamed Photon, with efforts to extend battery life significantly"
Interesting. We've now heard a fair few snippets about push email in Magneto and this Register article fleshes out a few more of the details. I wonder if Microsoft thinks it's the next big thing? ;-) I also wonder when more light will be shed on Photon...
