Push Email: Not Delayed, Merely OEM'd
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 08:00 PM
"I'm currently receiving lots of email generated mainly by some sites claiming that there are delays in our Push Email solution. This is total nonsense - there are no delays. AKU 2.0 has already been provided to device manufacturers and already the first device has appeared containing AKU 2.0. Unfortunately it isn't in Europe but in Taiwan. . . We create the underlying operating system and then device manufacturers integrate their drivers and then test it on Mobile Operator networks. Typically when we provide updates to our mobile platform in can take anywhere between 3-6 months for devices to appear on the market once the network testing and integration has been performed."
Jason Langridge from Microsoft' Mobile and Embedded Devices Division is obviously getting a lot of questions about push email, Pocket PCs and AKU 2.0. So often it seems that waiting for these kinds of updates to arrive from the OEMs is like Waiting for Godot i.e. they never appear. But hey, I'm sure the OEMs will release new ROM versions with AKU 2.0 for all the WM5 devices already sold this time round. After all, they want to protect their relationship with you regarding the investment you made in their shiny new device. Right? :?
