Until Microsoft can release an enterprise push mail system as tight and secure as RIM's I kind of doubt it. |
uh, they already have, its just up to carriers to implement it. MSFP takes care of push email just fine. iJam users can attest to that. |
Not even close. I've been in PPCs since the early days (iPaq, Toshiba e700, XDA, etc. etc), and I still love them for some of the things they can do. But if I had to give an executive a Pocket PC device instead of a BB, I'd quit. The Pocket PC can do far more - not picking on it - but what it does it doesn't do nearly as well. I have gone through the PPC ranks and the BB ranks, from the original 950 "pager" to the current 8700, and they've all been simpler to use and more reliable than any PPC. From an enterprise standpoint, it's far cleaner - it just works. Plus I do the equivalent of "soft-resetting" my blackberry monthly, if even that. It just works.
You give a CFO a PPC that they want to get to work on their home wireless, work wireless (with security), GPRS/EDGE/EV-DO, and you might as well hire a support person to go with them.
There's finally more software for the BB out there, and while I'll still champion the PPC, the BB is my daily device.
