Forget GMail, Go HTCMail?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "NEWS" @ 05:11 PM
"HTC also today announced the launch of HTCmail, a fully hosted, secure, and managed email service based on Microsoft Hosted Exchange. HTCmail will bring the benefits of always-connected business to mobile professionals. The HTC offering provides seamless and real-time access to up to five different email accounts, either personal or work mailboxes, aggregated and instantly delivered to a mobile device through Outlook 2007. Features include email, contacts and calendar, enabling users to easily access information and communications while on the go. HTCmail is compatible with all HTC devices, and will be rolling out across selected European markets* from September 2007."
It appears that HTC wants a piece of that nice big hosted exchange pie, and who better to provide it to them (This is up for debate, but for new users, the same name as that of the device probably has inherent trust)? What I like is the "real-time access to up to five ... accounts". Sounds interesting, especially from an exchange user and admin perspective. Anyone hoping to try HTC's offering out when it's released?
