ESPOO, Finland – If you’re reading this on your PC, then the concept of having an email address that you create and use on your phone is probably an alien concept. From the first Hotmail accounts to the wickedly popular Gmail we’re all used to getting our mail through Outlook or a web browser. But what of those that don’t own, or even have access to, a PC? Those who are living in developing countries where the means of communication is at best limited.

Redefining the word choice

GLOBAL – It’s pretty well documented that I’m a big fan of syncing, or as Mike puts it a sync-a-holic (shouldn’t that be syncophantic?) such is my desire to be in sync. Same goes for Mail, as it happens, and it didn’t half put a smile on my chops when I saw the Mail for Exchange announcement this morning. 43 new devices now support the software and, the product people tell us, this is the widest range of Mail for Exchange devices out there. What’s interesting about this though is the scope for choice, and specifically, that business users really no longer strictly need pure business devices.
