WOOOHOOO I am First! Look at me RICKY BOBBY!!!
Exchange and Outlook = Congealed. O.K., hoax nut?
I get it now.
Great news..
So, I wonder what the time-frame is from job posting, to hiring, to implementation on the iPhone?
wow they are really going for it with this phone
Very soon, there will be no drawback owning an iPhone…
Once everything will run on Macs, iPods and iPhones, there will deffinitely be no more use to get widozed stuff anyways…
Apple…. release the darn Exchange support. We’re dying out here. Well those of us forced to use this monopoly driven mail/collaboration joke of a system.
This really is great news. For now, I am using Visto Mobile, and for Exchange email, it is functional.
So Apple supports another Microsoft technology.
When is Microsoft going to start supporting Apple technologies?
“When is Microsoft going to start supporting Apple technologies?”
When Ballmer’s unholy dominion freezes over?
I currently use Synchronica and it works flawlessly. It is also freeware at this point.
“Synchronica”
Wasn’t that a glam metal band from the ’80s?
I want better functionality between my Mac and M$ Entourage for Outlook Exchange, which I have to endure at work. I know, I know, good luck with that. I can but hope that the soon-to-be-released (sometime in January 2008 – yah, right) Office ’08 comes through. I’ll believe it when I see it.
From what I’ve heard Entourage was barely touched in Office 08.
M$ don’t want platform compatibility for exchange to be too easy. Otherwise why would you buy a PC?
