They also support multiple Google accounts, which Android can't do (or at least couldn't at one point...not sure now). Funny. This is the benefit of rethinking messaging from the ground up to support multiple types of accounts.

I don't think it is actually going to be multiple client instances. Exchange 2003+ has support for an AJAX and/or web service interface, so I'm sure they are just hitting this. Of course, I haven't seen this, either, so I can't be 100% sure. But this makes the most sense to me. It is the way that you could get access to multiple exchange accounts in the old Treo days using Chattermail. And since the Chattermail developer went to work for palm two years ago to work on some mysterious, super-secret project...well...probably.
