O2 Germany to launch Mobile E-Mail with Microsoft Direct Push February 06, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. Although both O2 Germany and O2 UK have the same owner, it looks like O2 Germany is much more agile and several products and service are launched in Germany before UK... Make no mistake: the biggest and the most important battle for Microsoft mobile division is to convince operators, Internet service providers and generally all enterprises, to ditch RIM Blackberry (that requires monthly service fee and big middleware) and to switch instead to Microsoft direct push e-mail solution... O2 Germany launching Microsoft's push e-mail solution is the sign of things to come: As you can read here (unfortunately only in German) during CeBIT 2006 (i.e. March 2006) the O2 Germany is launching push e-mail solution based on Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Xda Pocket PC phones powered by Windows Mobile 5.0. Some highlights about this solution from O2:
Anyway: while in year 2005 the release of Windows Mobile 5.0 was the most important event or challenge, in year 2006 Microsoft must concentrate on convincing mobile operators, ISPs and webhosting companies, and all enterprises, to start using Microsoft's push e-mail instead of RIM Blackberry. Anything else is secondary.  Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)
