Didn't msft also just release their hosted service? All alternatives to on Orem exchange I'd think.JJ FreitagFri, 13 Feb 2009 23:15:25 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6243028I have a Blackberry 8330 with googlesync installed. It does push contacts and calendar updates on my phone. Check the options setting in googlesync and make sure you update to the most recent one. I do believe that it will only since what is added since you installed sync, so previous contacts and events won't be pushed.madronemediaFri, 13 Feb 2009 12:38:22 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6177111When apple licensed ActiveSync for the mail client on the iPhone, that helped Exchange by making the iPhone compatible with Exchange. Google is not running Exchange. They are licensing ActiveSync so that Google services can masquerade as an Exchange server for any client that supports ActiveSync. In the Google Services to iPhone example, neither client nor server is running a Microsoft product, although they are talking Microsoft's protocol. Who knows, this could be MS's strategy, to parlay their leadership position in enterprise email to owning a protocol that everyone standardizes on first to facilitate and transition but ultimately because of convenience.erlichsonWed, 11 Feb 2009 09:49:23 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6176774Doesn't that really mean Exchange is still email and calendering king and actually improves their foothold in the back end office space?donsmithWed, 11 Feb 2009 09:31:22 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6124409Not sure about the blackberry since it never really talked to exchange. It talked to the blackberry enterprise redirector. their video impies it works with exchange.erlichsonMon, 09 Feb 2009 17:50:03 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6123926I've had google sync on my blackberry, but contacts and calendar updates are not pushed, I have to initiate the sync. At least I don't think they are... Does this update for iPhone and WinMo push updates on the fly?bstringMon, 09 Feb 2009 17:25:15 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6123008entourage is nothing great in our experience. the buzz seems to be that older versions were better than newer versions.erlichsonMon, 09 Feb 2009 16:39:58 -0000http://blog.phanfare.com/2009/02/google-releases-sync-makes-it-possible-for-us-to-move-to-google-apps-ditch-windows/#comment-6122891This is worthy of a congratulations, as if being released from a POW camp. Why weren't desktops running OS X/Entourage already?bstringMon, 09 Feb 2009 16:34:15 -0000
