Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 10:30 PM
"New technology Microsoft will release Friday in a preview of the forthcoming Exchange Server update will push e-mail directly from the e-mail server onto Windows Mobile devices, according to company spokespeople...The new Direct Push Technology will come in a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), with the full version of SP2 to be made available before the end of the year, said Martha DeAmicis, product manager for Microsoft's Exchange Server Group."
I know a number of people have been asking when this is coming out, and while this is not the final release, this CTP may be useful for the enterprises amongst you who want to start testing the provided solutions. However, it's of limited use because of one key problem: there's no WM5 device currently available on the market. The article suggests that devices with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack will be available in November, and a RTM version of SP2 by the end of the year.
